Description
This is the Annual Subscription Renewal for your SolarWinds Additional Polling Engine (APE). Maintaining this subscription is critical to sustaining the scalability of your monitoring environment.
If this license expires, your Additional Polling Engine will stop collecting data, potentially leaving 10,000+ elements unmonitored and creating blind spots in your network visibility. Renew now with an Authorized Distributor to ensure continuous operation.
Consequences of Non-Renewal
- Monitoring Blackout: The APE will cease polling, meaning thousands of devices will show "Unknown" status.
- Data Gaps: You will have permanent gaps in your historical performance data for reporting.
- Alert Failure: Critical alerts for devices polled by this engine will not trigger, risking downtime.
Why Buy From Softech.store?
- ✔ Authorized Distributor: We process renewals quickly to prevent service interruptions.
- ✔ Co-Termination: We can align this renewal date with your main SolarWinds license (NPM/SAM) for easier management.
Trending FAQs: Scalability Renewal
Q: Does this renew my main product (e.g., NPM) too?
A: No. This is only for the Additional Polling Engine. You must renew your main product license (e.g., NPM SLX) separately, although we usually bundle them in a single quote.
Q: I'm moving to SolarWinds Observability. Do I still need this?
A: It depends. If you move to the Enterprise tier of Observability Self-Hosted, APEs are included! If you move to Essentials or Advanced, you may still need this separate APE subscription. Contact us for a migration assessment.
Q: Can I reduce the number of APEs I renew?
A: Yes. If you have optimized your polling or removed devices and no longer need the extra capacity, you can choose to renew fewer APEs. We can help you check your current element count to decide.
Q: What happens if I upgrade my main license to Unlimited (SLX)?
A: Upgrading the main license increases the allowed capacity, but the APE provides the horsepower to poll it. Even with an SLX license, if you have 20,000+ elements, you still need the APE to distribute the load.
