It has been a struggle to find a SolarWinds Grafana dashboard, so I’m uploading mine to help others. Here is an attempt at a first iteration. There are geomaps, time series, and stat panels to paint a holistic view of metrics that SW is collecting via it’s MS SQL DB. Visualized Network Availability % (npm) and Application Availability % metrics (sam), with geomaps that display network device response times with a threshold that can be modified in the query. Other metrics for across-the-board Latency and Saturation metrics are also available. chefs kiss to Google’s SRE handbook

Here are the steps needed to get this dashboard working correctly:

  1. Deploy Grafana PDC Agent on SolarWinds Server (https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/connect-externally-hosted/private-data-source-connect/)

  2. Configure MS SQL DB as Data Source, making sure to add PDC connection at the bottom of the data source configuration

  3. Have fun! Modify queries as needed.
