Definition
Licensing model for SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted: "SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted offers simple, node-based licensing in the following tiers ... The license tiers determine the number of monitored nodes and available features."
Counting rules
Each monitored node consumes one licence, except ICMP nodes monitored for availability only, which are free; enabling application monitors, NCM profiles, interfaces or other services makes the node count. In the Premier tier value-based licensing weights entities: containers and wireless access points 10:1, on-premises VMs and cloud entities 3:1, network devices, servers/hosts, orchestrators/wireless controllers, WPM Players and storage arrays 1:1. A licence is a pool of nodes that can be activated wholly on one server or split across several (flexible licensing).
Floors / minimums
Enterprise edition available from 500 nodes and required above 1,500 nodes. Premier overages add 25% of the licence or up to 500 nodes, whichever is reached first.
