Additional Polling Engine and Web Console
n Basic alerts are configured and managed from your primary SolarWinds server
If there are multiple polling engines in your environment, the Basic Alert
Manager on your primary SolarWinds server will give you the opportunity to
select the engine that is monitoring the devices to which you want the basic
alert to apply.
Installing an Additional Polling Engine
The installation of a new Additional Polling Engine, including initial configuration,
follows the same steps required to complete the installation and configuration of a
primary UDT polling engine, with the following additional considerations:
n The most recent installer is available in your SolarWinds Customer Portal within
the Orion_Additional_Polling_Engine_version.zip archive.
n If you want to use any Orion Platform products for monitoring or managing any
devices polled with an Additional Polling Engine, you must install the Additional
Polling Engine version of the module you want to use on the server hosting
your Additional Polling Engine. For more information, see the SolarWinds
documentation for your Orion Platform product.
n If you have configured an alert with a Send Email action to trigger on a node
monitored by an additional polling engine, confirm that the additional polling
engine has access to your SMTP server.
Note: After completing the following procedure, SolarWinds UDT polling engines
emulate the same behavior as SolarWinds NPM additional polling engines. They
monitor only those ports on nodes associated with the SolarWinds UDT additional
polling engine.
To install an Orion Additional Polling Engine:
1. If you downloaded the Orion Additional Polling Engine executable from
the SolarWinds website, navigate to your download location, and then launch
the executable.
2.
If you received the Orion Additional Polling Engine executable on
physical media, browse to the executable file, and then launch it.
Note: The executable extracts to a folder containing an HTML readme, an
Installer Guide, and Additional Polling Engine installers for all SolarWinds
products that support Additional Polling Engines.
