Installing Windows Account

Requires administrator permission on the target server.

File System Access Permissions

Ensure the Network Service account has modify access to the system temp directory: %systemroot%\temp.

SolarWinds Orion Syslog Server

If you want real time change detection triggered through devices sending Syslog messages, the executable must have read and write access to the Orion Platform database.

SolarWinds Orion Trap Service

If you want real time change detection triggered through devices sending SNMP traps, the executable must have read and write access to the Orion Platform database.

Microsoft SNMP Trap Service

Must be installed if you want real time change detection triggered through devices sending SNMP traps.

Microsoft IIS

Version 8.0 or later. DNS specifications require hostnames to be composed of alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), the minus sign (-), and periods (.). Underscore characters (_) are not allowed.

SolarWinds does not support installing NCM on the same server or using the same database server as a Research in Motion (RIM) Blackberry server.

Microsoft ASP .NET 2.0 Ajax Extension

Version 1 or later

If this is not found on the target computer, the setup program downloads and installs the component.

Microsoft .NET Framework

.NET 4.8

If the required version is not found on the target computer, the installer downloads and installs it. Ensure that .NET is turned on in Windows Features.

Database requirements

The Orion server and the SolarWinds Orion database must use separate servers.

If you install on a virtual machine, you must maintain your SQL Server database on a separate, physical drive.

As of Orion Platform 2018.2, you can use Amazon RDS as your database server.

TypeRequirements
Language

SolarWinds supports using NCM with database servers set up in the following languages, but only supports storing characters in the UTF-8 character set.

  • English
  • German
  • Japanese
  • Chinese
SQL Server versions
  • SQL Server 2019
  • SQL Server 2017
  • SQL Server 2016 with SP1 or later
  • SQL Server 2014 and SQL Server with Always On Availability Groups
  • Azure SQL Database
    Click here for additional Azure SQL Database requirements.

NCM supports the latest service pack unless otherwise noted.

If you select the Lightweight Installation option, SQL Server Express 2017 is installed locally. This option should be used only for evaluating NCM.

You can use the following database select statement to check your SQL Server version, service pack or release level, and edition:

select SERVERPROPERTY ('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

SQL server collations

The following SQL server collations are supported:

  • English with collation setting SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

  • Japanese with collation setting Japanese_CI_AS
  • Simplified Chinese with collation setting Chinese_PRC_CI_AS
Authentication Either mixed-mode or Windows authentication. If you require SQL authentication, you must enable mixed mode on your SQL server.
Protocols

Your database server must support mixed-mode authentication or SQL authentication and have the following protocols enabled:

  • Shared memory
  • TCP/IP
  • Named Pipes
x86 components

The following x86 components must be installed:

  • SQL Server System Common Language Runtime (CLR) Types

Supported Web Console browsers

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (standard and mobile views)
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Mozilla Firefox 49.0, or latest supported versions
  • Google Chrome 54.0, or latest supported versions

Additional information

  • The SolarWinds NCM Information Service requires that the Net.TCP Port Sharing service be enabled and port 17777 open for TCP traffic to the NCM server. By default, this service is disabled. The setup program sets the service to manual. Resetting the service setting to disabled is not recommended.
  • To take advantage of the numerous integration points in NCM, install the SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset on the same server. You can also take advantage of integration points built into the Web Console by installing the Toolset on computers used to access the Web Console.

Scalability

NCM 2019.4 was tested for scalability in a standalone deployment of three servers: one server hosts the main server and the other two servers each host an additional polling engine. The main server manages up to 10,000 nodes, as does each additional polling engine. Therefore, the deployment supports up to 30,000 nodes total.

The standard Orion Web Console deployment has the Orion Platform on the main server, polling for node status at the default rate. This deployment supports two NCM operations, inventory update and configuration download, performed per day on all 30,000 nodes.

Though the main server and each additional polling engine can manage up to 10,000 nodes, the actual total depends on the system hardware of the server hosts, the types of devices being monitored, and the number of jobs being run concurrently. Should you need to manage more devices, and you decide to add servers, consider consolidating your views of multiple servers with the SolarWinds Enterprise Operations Console (EOC). For more information, see Scalability Engine Guidelines for SolarWinds Products.

Factors that affect scalability

The server requirements table above lists the minimum CPU and RAM requirements for the NCM server. CPU and RAM requirements depend on the number of nodes being managed in your NCM deployment.

If scalability issues arise, you can adjust the following:

  • Increase the server CPU speed and the amount of RAM
  • Decrease the number of simultaneous transfers
  • Decrease the frequency of uploads, downloads, and inventory jobs
  • Increase the node polling interval for up/down monitoring

Inventory jobs may run longer than expected in larger environments. To remedy this situation, break large inventory jobs into smaller jobs that do not include as many nodes, and space these jobs over a longer period of time. Adjusting server CPU and memory will enhance user interface performance and job execution speed.
