We at Prosperon have integrated Orion with a number of ticketing systems over the years, which has predominantly focused on getting event-based information out of Orion and into the ticketing system. This clearly will be related to alert conditions more than anything, whereby alert conditions identified by Orion such as a Node is down, a key interface is being saturated, etc. are pushed our by Orion and the ticketing system automatically raise a new ticket.

This is very straightforward within Orion as it includes multiple alert action types with multiple protocols supported meaning that so far we have not been faced with having to tell a client it can’t be done. However, there are many scenarios that have to be thought about and included in the strategy for integrating to helpdesk solutions; which alerts to raise a ticket on, whether to auto-close tickets and how this can be achieved for example.

With the addition of a help desk solution in the SolarWinds suite, the level of intelligent integration will only increase.

These are exciting times as SolarWinds continue their growth into further areas of IT infrastructure management, so to see how Web Help Desk can benefit your organisation, whether you have an existing SolarWinds solution or not contact us today.
