SolarWinds Orion

SolarWinds is a comprehensive platform offering full stack observability solutions for cloud, hybrid, and on-premises infrastructures. SolarWinds Orion provides extensive network discovery, monitoring and management features and capabilities.  SolarWinds stores a range if IT asset data as a bi-product of its primary functionality, and this provides an ideal source repository of information to seed your Configuration Management Database (CMDB). 

The CI Sync SolarWinds Orion connector reads a range of network equipment resources from your SolarWinds environment to create and maintain corresponding configuration item records in your CMDB.

Simple setup, simple synchronization
The CI Sync SolarWinds Orion connector is simple to setup via the CI Sync multi-source agent. Once the source connection is defined synchronization is nothing more than a few clicks in the CI Sync UI.
Dynamically Generates CI-to-CI Relationships
CI Sync derives multiple network relationships from data stored in your SolarWinds Orion environment. This includes firewall, router, switch and wireless controllers
Delta synchronization
CI Sync’s delta synchronization features work with the SolarWinds Orion connector creating a highly efficient method of keeping your networking resources aligned to the CIs in your CMDB.
Multi-Source System Relationships
CI Sync’s sophisticated multi-source correlation logic means CI Sync will build relationships between the network read from SolarWinds and devices such as end user compute and servers read from other source systems.

Ultimately the customer decides, however Syncfish recommends hosting each customer instance physically close to the location of their ServiceNow instance (for best performance). It can be hosted in most/all Azure Regions globally (it is still hosted/managed/maintained by Syncfish, but the customer decides which geography it is physically located in).

No. The source asset data (read from the relevant source system by one of the CI Synchronizer connectors) is transited through your dedicated CI Synchronizer instance then deleted after it’s been processed into ServiceNow.
