SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability supports a variety of authentication methods to ensure
seamless integration with enterprise identity providers. According to the SolarWinds Platform
Installation and Upgrade Guide, the two primary modern account types used for centralized
management are Azure Active Directory (AD) and Orion Groups.
Azure Active Directory (AD): This allows organizations to leverage their cloud-based identity provider
for Single Sign-On (SSO) and centralized user management. HCO integrates directly with Azure AD to
authenticate users based on their existing cloud credentials. Orion Group: This is a local platform
account type that allows administrators to define permissions at
a group level rather than for individual users. By creating an Orion Group, you can assign a specific
set of view, alert, and report permissions once, and any user assigned to that group automatically
inherits those rights.
Question 2 (choose 1)
What are custom properties and how are they used?
- AOption A:
built-in attributes used for dynamic device grouping
- BOption B:
static fields used to identify nodes in SQL database
- COption C:
static, pre-defined fields automatically applied to all monitored nodes
- DOption D:
user-defined fields to store additional node or element information
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Custom Properties are one of the most versatile features of the SolarWinds Platform, providing a way
to extend the metadata associated with monitored objects. The SolarWinds Platform Administrator
Guide defines them as "user-defined fields that allow you to add custom information to nodes,
interfaces, volumes, or other monitored entities".
Unlike built-in attributes like "IP Address" or "Vendor," which are discovered automatically, custom
properties are created by the administrator to suit specific business needs. Common examples
include "Site Location," "Emergency Contact," "Department," or "Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Tier". These fields are critical for organization and automation because they allow for:
Filtering and Grouping: You can create groups that automatically include any node where the
"Department" custom property is set to "Finance".
Alerting: You can configure alerts to only trigger for nodes marked as "Mission Critical" in a custom
property field.
