Features

• Track server and application changes
  SolarWinds® Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) is designed to track and alert you when system and application configs change from a user-defined baseline or their last configuration. With agent-based monitoring on Windows and Linux devices and applications, you’ll see changes in near real time and who made changes to files and the registry.
• Monitor databases for unauthorized changes
  Your databases are mostly behind the scenes, but they’re critical to keeping your business running. SCM monitors for configuration changes to this infrastructure, and changes to user permissions and schemas.
• Correlate configuration changes to performance
  When a server is down or performing poorly, the change data collected by Server Configuration Monitor can be combined with the performance, health, and availability metrics collected by other Orion® Platform-based modules in a single visual timeline via PerfStack™. The combination of these two sets of data allows you to easily see if an application or server configuration change was the source of a performance issue or outage.
• Manage scripts and monitor output changes
  Homegrown scripts provide valuable insight into your organizations systems and applications. With SCM, you can centrally manage scripts, distribute those scripts to servers in your environment, and then track and alert on changes to the entire output of those scripts. Essentially expanding your change monitoring capacity to the level of your scripting prowess.
• Orion Platform Integration
  Built on the Orion Platform, Server Configuration Monitor has direct access and integration with other enterprise level features and datasets.
