What's new and improved
Feature Adoption
A new section in My Deployment that shows you how to enable and expand the usage of key features of your products.
High Availability repair
Users can run a repair on HA pools in the web console or via CLI. This resolves HA issues fast without the need to contact support. See Repair a HA pool, for more information.
Dark theme available for all modern dashboards
Users can now switch to the dark theme without using the NOC mode. Each logged-in user can set their theme in their profile. See Dark theme for modern dashboards.
Modern dashboards
A new modern dashboard widget, the Entity Drill-Down widget, has been introduced to group and drill down into different node and group entities. This brings functionality of the legacy All Nodes and All Groups widgets to modern dashboards. Users can simply select groupings with drop-down or different entity properties, without having to use custom query/SWQL to modify this widget. In KPI widgets, users can now synchronize font size when using multiple KPI tiles. The option is available when editing a KPI widget in the Scale Sync Configuration setting.
508 Compliance
Support for 508 compliance has been improved to ensure that the software is accessible to people with disabilities. The Login page and the main menu have been updated to better comply with this standard.
Recurring maintenance schedules
Users can now specify a reason for placing entities in maintenance mode for both one-time and recurring jobs. Users can schedule multiple maintenance jobs for a single entity. Users can schedule maintenance windows for volumes. Users have a better visibility of upcoming maintenance windows: A new Maintenance Windows widget has been added to node details pages. The next maintenance window is displayed in the Node Details widget.
Intelligent Maps improvements
Users can assign a single interface to a line. When users move labels, connections to shapes or entities are visible. Users can add or remove connection pills. Users can align objects in a new alignment menu with complete object alignment options. Users can add multiple labels for shapes. Users can edit line width for lines and connections. Users can use underlined text in text boxes and labels. Labels appear arranged around shape or entity instead of overlapping.
Additional updates
Data collected by SolarWinds Platform agents during polling engine failover is now retained and stored after failover completes. Added support for real-time polling for Linux and AIX agents. PerfStack now adds real-time metrics more efficiently, using fewer system resources and increasing dashboard responsiveness. See PerfStack Performance Issue: Slow or Not Loading... for details. A single SolarWinds Platform Web Server now supports up to 100 concurrent user sessions. Evaluation versions now install SQL Server Express 2025 as part of the deployment process.

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.
