What is SolarWinds?

​SolarWinds gives you the tools to monitor your applications and environment through a single web console.

How It Works

SolarWinds triggers user defined alerts when (configured) network events occur.
  • When an alert in SolarWinds is triggered, an alert is created in PagerTree automatically.
  • When an alert in SolarWinds is reset, the alert is resolved in PagerTree automatically.
