What the SolarWinds Orion integration does
Network gear and monitoring status flow into each client's records and diagrams, so you can see what's down without opening another tool.
Setting it up
For the SolarWinds Platform (Orion NPM or SAM). DokLocker reads your nodes through the SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS), the API Orion runs on port 17774.
- In Orion go to Settings › All Settings › Manage Accounts and add an account for DokLocker. It only needs to read; it doesn't need node management or admin rights.
- Enter your Orion server's address (like
https://orion.yourcompany.com; DokLocker adds:17774if you leave the port off), the account's user name and password. Orion uses a self-signed certificate unless you replaced it, so leave Allow a self-signed certificate on unless yours is a proper one. - Choose how clients are found: by a node custom property (enter its name, Customer by default, so a node whose Customer is Acme Inc goes to Acme) or by Orion groups (a node in several groups goes to the first one matched to a client).
Nodes become records with their vendor, machine type and IP address. Up, warning, critical and down come from Orion's own node status, and unmanaged nodes show as paused. Nodes with no customer (or in no group) are skipped. If DokLocker is hosted at doklocker.com, port 17774 on your Orion server has to be reachable from the internet; on your own server it only needs to be reachable from DokLocker. Built from SolarWinds' SWIS documentation and not yet tried against a live server; tell us if anything is missing.
