SolarWinds Multi-Region Monitoring Architecture architecture diagram

About This Architecture

Multi-region SolarWinds Orion monitoring architecture spans five geographic regions with distributed polling engines feeding a centralized US-based database cluster. The US AVS Region hosts a three-tier architecture: load-balanced web servers (SW02750, SW03532, SW04649) in the presentation tier, primary and secondary polling engines in the application tier, and a two-node Orion database cluster (SW04578, SW04579) in the data tier. Regional polling engines in Sweden (four sets), Germany (two sets), China, and Australia collect telemetry from local infrastructure and report to the central database, ensuring low-latency monitoring across continents while maintaining data sovereignty. This hub-and-spoke topology demonstrates best practices for enterprise-scale network monitoring with redundant polling engines per region and centralized reporting. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize polling engine placement, add regions, or adapt the architecture for your SolarWinds deployment.

People also ask

How do I design a multi-region SolarWinds Orion architecture with distributed polling engines?

Deploy regional polling engine pairs (primary/secondary) in each geographic location to collect local telemetry, then configure all engines to report to a centralized Orion database cluster in your primary region. This hub-and-spoke topology reduces WAN latency for monitoring while centralizing data for global visibility.
