Description
The SolarWinds Remote Office Poller (ROP250) is the industry-standard solution for distributed monitoring in small branch offices. As an Authorized Distributor, we provide this license to help you extend visibility into secure zones (DMZ) or remote sites with limited bandwidth.
This lightweight agent monitors up to 250 Elements locally. Instead of streaming raw SNMP data across your WAN, the ROP processes data on-site and sends only the results to your main server. This architecture ensures your central dashboard is accurate without degrading the performance of your critical business links.
Key Features
- DMZ Security: Install ROP in a DMZ and use a single encrypted port to communicate back to HQ, avoiding complex firewall rules.
- Local Data Caching: If the link to the main server goes down, ROP stores data locally and syncs it when connection is restored.
- Agentless Polling: Monitors SNMP, WMI, and ICMP devices without installing agents on the target nodes.
- 250 Element Capacity: Supports a mix of Nodes, Interfaces, and Volumes (e.g., 20 Routers + 200 Interfaces + 30 Volumes).

Trending FAQs: Distributed Monitoring
Q: Does ROP250 require an Additional Polling Engine (APE) license?
A: Yes, typically. ROPs connect to your main SolarWinds environment, and depending on your version (Orion vs. Observability), you may need an APE subscription to aggregate the data. Contact our support for a topology check.
Q: What exactly is an "Element" in SolarWinds licensing?
A: An "Element" is the basic unit of monitoring. It is defined as: 1 Node (Device) OR 1 Interface (Port) OR 1 Volume (Disk Drive). For example, a 48-port switch where you monitor the device status (1) + all 48 ports (48) = 49 Elements.
Q: Can I use this in a DMZ without opening all ports?
A: Absolutely. The ROP is designed for this. It only requires a single port (usually TCP 17778) to communicate back to the main polling engine, keeping your DMZ secure.
Q: What happens if my internet connection drops at the remote site?
A: The ROP has a "Store and Forward" capability. It will continue polling locally and buffer the data. Once the connection is restored, it uploads the historical data to the main server, ensuring no gaps in your charts.
