What's new and improved

Intelligent Maps parity and migration

Connections now support multiple links. You can connect more than a single interface between two entities. This covers one of the last major differences between Network Atlas and Intelligent Maps to make the migration of Network Atlas maps to Intelligent Maps possible. Background color is now supported in text boxes. Hyperlinks for lines are now supported. Dark Mode is supported in Intelligent Maps. Pills on connections can now be disconnected from the line to improve map readability.

Dashboard improvements

Added support for Custom Properties in Modern Dashboard Global Filters Updated My Deployment tabs Server: In previous versions, users configured High Availability in this tab. Starting with this version, the tab shows all SolarWinds servers, including their status and additional polling details. This tab displays the following SolarWinds Platform servers: Main Polling Engine (MPE) Additional Polling Engine (APE) Additional Web Server (AWS) Remote Collector Standby HA servers (MPE and APE) Pools (new tab): High Availability status and configuration were moved to this new tab. The tab was redesigned completely to show more relevant information regarding HA pools and to make it easier to manage them.

Scheduled recurring maintenance windows

Added support for scheduling recurring maintenance windows. You can schedule maintenance windows daily, weekly or monthly. You can also pick if you want to mute alerts for the devices or unmanage devices, and quickly assign supported entities to the maintenance windows. Entities can have more than one recurring maintenance window, allowing users to schedule different maintenance timings on the same devices. Maintenance windows can be found on the Manage Nodes page by selecting a node and then hovering over the Maintenance Mode button. Existing functionality is preserved, including schedule management via SDK or API.

Alert variables for dependencies

Added alert variables to show dependency relationships in alert actions. The variables help answer what entities are affected if something goes down. The new alert variables are ${N=SwisEntity;M=NodeDependencies} and ${N=SwisEntity;M=NodeDependenciesWithLinks}.

gMSA support for WinRM polling

Added support for using gMSA (group managed service accounts) credentials when polling via WinRM. gMSA is supported for all generic regular WinRM polling of Nodes/Volumes/Interfaces, AssetInventory, IPAM and SRM polling. SAM has extended support with the exception of SAM real-time explorer, Service Control Manager, real-time Event Log Viewer, and AppInsight for Exchange.

All HTTPS connections are now performed with SSL certificate validation

All HTTPS connections are now performed with SSL certificate validation. The SSL certificate validation is configurable via Centralized Settings.

Performance and other improvements

Improved Agent/polling scalability: Polling engines can now collect data from up to 1,000 agents and 60,000 SAM components (agent-based). This is an increase from 500 agents and 40,000 SAM components (agent-based) per polling engine. Added more details on Windows Server connection methods for WMI, WMI (DCOM), and WMI (WinRM). These details include highlighting the connection mode in Add Node screens and displaying information about the last poll method in the Polling Details widget. Two new reports were added to better understand Windows Node connections: Windows Nodes Connection Summary: This report provides details on the connection mode setting (WinRM Preferred, WinRM Only, WMI Only) and the connection mode used. Windows Nodes with WMI Fallback: This report lists nodes that use the WinRM Preferred method and are falling back to WMI. Increased performance of PerfStack metric palette. Increased performance of Capacity Forecasting widgets and reports. Added the ability to manually change a SolarWinds Engine role via the API from Additional Polling Engine (Active) to Additional Polling Engine (Standby). Previously, this change was only possible through an uninstallation/reinstallation process. A new API verb called SelectiveSwitchover was introduced to facilitate the change. Full IPv6 address is now required in some Log Viewer conditions, such as starts with, ends with, or contains. To improve security in the Log Viewer, SNMP community is no longer stored with traps. You can still use SNMP community in rule conditions. Added support for Microsoft Graph, the successor to the…

Deprecations

SQL Server 2016

SQL Server 2016 is deprecated as of 2025.2. It is still available and supported in the current release, but will be removed in a future release. Consider using SQL Server 2022 or later.

Network Atlas

Network Atlas is deprecated as of Orion Platform 2020.2. It is still available and supported in the current release, but will be removed in a future release. Deprecation is an indication that you should avoid expanded use of this feature and formulate a plan to discontinue using the feature. SolarWinds recommends that you start using Intelligent Maps in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console to display maps of physical and logical relationships between entities monitored by the SolarWinds Platform products you have installed. Starting with 2024.2, you can import Network Atlas maps to Intelligent Maps. See Import maps.
