New Product Annoucement: Web Help Desk from SolarWinds

by 29, Jul, 2012Blog Posts, Systems Management, Useful Information

The choice SolarWinds® have made for the acquisition includes not just the help desk ticketing functionality, but also inventory management, change management process control and knowledge base giving a nicely rounded and highly complementary solution to the rest of the SolarWinds product range. With the level of features that are included within the single solution, this very much helps an organisation work within the ITIL best practice framework.

Web Help Desk Key Features:

  • Service Requests
  • Help Desk Management
  • Asset Management (CMDB)
  • Service Level Agreement (SLA)
  • Knowledge Base Management
  • Approval & Change Management
  • Reporting

We at Prosperon have integrated Orion with a number of ticketing systems over the years, which has predominantly focused on getting event-based information out of Orion and into the ticketing system. This clearly will be related to alert conditions more than anything, whereby alert conditions identified by Orion such as a Node is down, a key interface is being saturated, etc. are pushed our by Orion and the ticketing system automatically raise a new ticket.

This is very straightforward within Orion as it includes multiple alert action types with multiple protocols supported meaning that so far we have not been faced with having to tell a client it can’t be done. However, there are many scenarios that have to be thought about and included in the strategy for integrating to helpdesk solutions; which alerts to raise a ticket on, whether to auto-close tickets and how this can be achieved for example.

With the addition of a help desk solution in the SolarWinds suite, the level of intelligent integration will only increase.
