Description
The SolarWinds Remote Office Poller (ROP1000) is the ideal distributed monitoring solution for medium-sized regional offices, factory floors, or retail hubs. As an Authorized Distributor, Softech offers this license to support monitoring up to 1,000 Elements per remote engine.
By placing an ROP1000 at your remote site, you eliminate the latency of polling devices across a WAN link. The ROP performs checks locally and sends compressed results to your central SolarWinds instance, ensuring your main dashboard is always up-to-date without clogging your internet connection.
Key Features
- High Capacity: Monitor up to 1,000 network devices, interfaces, or volumes at a single remote site.
- Latency Reduction: Solves the "poll delay" issue common when monitoring distant devices over VPNs.
- Overlap Support: Allows monitoring of networks with overlapping IP address ranges (using NAT).
- Store-and-Forward: If the WAN link drops, ROP1000 buffers the data and uploads it automatically upon reconnection.

Trending FAQs: Scalability
Q: When should I choose ROP1000 over an Additional Polling Engine (APE)?
A: Choose ROP1000 if your remote site has fewer than 1,000 elements and you want to save money. If you have 2,000+ elements or need to poll very frequently (e.g., every 30 seconds), a full APE is recommended.
Q: Can I install multiple ROP1000s?
A: Yes, you can install ROPs at different geographic locations. However, you cannot "stack" multiple ROPs on the same server to increase capacity. Each ROP must be on its own lightweight server.
Q: Does this work with SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted?
A: Yes, ROPs are fully supported in the new SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted platform (formerly Orion), allowing you to extend your observability to the edge.
Q: Do I need a VPN for this to work?
A: Not necessarily. While a VPN is common, ROPs can communicate over the public internet securely if you configure the SolarWinds agent to use certificate-based authentication on the specific port (TCP 17778).
