SolarWinds

Enriching OT and IT asset visibility in Nozomi Vantage with network node inventory and monitoring data from SolarWinds Observability.

About
SolarWinds

SolarWinds Observability is a cloud-based full-stack observability platform for monitoring network devices and infrastructure. By integrating SolarWinds Observability with Nozomi Vantage, security teams gain a consolidated view of managed assets across IT and OT environments — importing network node inventory and monitoring data directly into Vantage. This enriches the asset registry with authoritative data from the SolarWinds management plane, accelerating incident investigation, reducing blind spots in critical infrastructure environments and enabling analysts to correlate observability telemetry with OT network observations without switching consoles.

Features

Importer Data Types

Vantage imports the following from
SolarWinds Observability
:
  • Asset Details Enrichment and Create New in Vantage

    SolarWinds Observability supplies records including node hostname, IPs, MAC, vendor, model, OS, system uptime, polling status and last-discovery time — to enrich existing Vantage assets and create new asset records for endpoints not yet observed on the OT network.

Joint Use Cases

  • Correlating SolarWinds signals with OT network alerts

    When Nozomi Vantage raises an anomaly alert for a device inside an OT segment, the analyst can pivot to the same asset's SolarWinds Observability record in Vantage to review host metrics, recent alerts and tag membership, all without leaving the Vantage investigation workflow. This cross-layer correlation surfaces whether a network-layer anomaly coincides with activity observed by SolarWinds, reducing the time needed to confirm or dismiss an incident.

  • Closing asset inventory gaps across IT and OT

    Devices recorded by SolarWinds Observability but not yet observed by Nozomi network sensors are automatically created as new asset records in Vantage, populated with host name, OS, cloud provider and tag context drawn from the SolarWinds management plane. OT operations teams can audit the resulting unified inventory to identify unmonitored or underprotected assets in industrial and critical infrastructure zones, then prioritize sensor deployment accordingly.

  • Cross-referencing performance anomalies with OT network events

    Host inventory from SolarWinds Observability feeds Vantage with cloud and infrastructure context for assets that bridge IT, OT and cloud environments, allowing analysts to correlate SolarWinds-detected performance anomalies with OT-side network observations during incident investigation.

Integration Prerequesites

  • Active Nozomi Vantage tenant with the connector-configuration role assigned to the administering account
  • SolarWinds Observability tenant with an API token issued under Settings → API Tokens
  • Consistent hostname, IP or MAC addressing between SolarWinds Observability-recorded assets and Vantage-observed assets to enable accurate asset correlation and deduplication
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
  • Outbound network connectivity from Vantage to the source-tool API endpoint over HTTPS (this prerequisite is a deployment placeholder and may be adjusted to match your environment)
