Description
This is the Annual Subscription Renewal for SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM). SAM provides deep visibility into the performance of your applications and the underlying server infrastructure.
Renewing your subscription ensures you can continue monitoring over 1,200 commercial applications (IIS, Exchange, SQL, AD) out of the box. Maintain your hardware health monitoring, cloud instance tracking, and AppStack dependencies.
Why Renew SAM?
- AppStack Mapping: Continue visualizing dependencies between apps, servers, virtual hosts, and storage.
- Hardware Health: Monitor fans, power supplies, and temperature on physical servers (Dell, HP, IBM).
- Cloud Monitoring: Track Azure and AWS instances (IaaS/PaaS) alongside on-prem servers.
- Custom Monitors: Keep your PowerShell, VBScript, and Linux script monitors running.
