Additional Polling Engine and Web Console
Upgrading an Additional Polling Engine
Upgrading an Additional Polling Engine follows the same steps required to upgrade a
primary SolarWinds UDT server. For more information, see "Installing SolarWinds
User Device Tracker ".
Notes:
n The most recent installer is available in your SolarWinds Customer Portal within
the Orion_Additional_Polling_Engine_version.zip archive.
n Confirm that you have upgraded your main Server before you upgrade your
Additional Polling Engine.
n If you are upgrading an Additional Polling Engine that is currently in service,
the Additional Polling Engine will shutdown temporarily with the result that you
may lose some polling data. SolarWinds recommends that you perform any
Additional Polling Engine upgrades during off-peak hours.
Configuring an Additional Polling Engine
Configuration typically occurs after an initial installation, but it may also be required
when a non-standard configuration change is made or when a module is added to
your Additional Polling Engine. In general, the steps to configure an Additional Polling
Engine are the same as those required to configure a primary SolarWinds UDT
polling engine, with the following additional considerations:
n
If you are using custom properties to monitor your network, you must copy
related schema (*.schema) and configuration (*.config and *.cfg) files from
your primary Server to the server hosting your Additional Polling Engine.
Note: By default, *.schema files are located on your primary SolarWinds
server in C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\Schemas\; *.config and *.cfg
files are located in C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\.
n If you are using any basic alerts to monitor your network, you must make copies
of all basic alert definitions in your Orion Platform database, and then assign
the copies to your Additional Polling Engine.
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 Polliing Engine.
