SolarWinds Orion Nodes Dashboard

This SolarWinds Orion dashboard gives an overview of nodes alongside a summary of health, using the powerful Web API and dashboard sharing capabilities of SquaredUp.

Team, SquaredUp

Challenge

SolarWinds requires an account and some level of training for a user to consume and observe the node's status, especially as the dashboard experience in SolarWinds is overwhelming. In addition, the NOC team needs unified SolarWinds dashboards with the same experience to observe the status of various monitoring systems all-in-one place.

Solution

Using the powerful Web API tile in SquaredUp, the SolarWinds dashboard connects to the SolarWinds Information Services REST API endpoint, using SQL queries in the request data, in real-time.

The dashboard also leverages mustache syntax to transform the SolarWinds' own status into a human-readable status and corresponding health icons. Using Open Access, we can share this dashboard to anyone in our organisation in a matter of seconds.
