SolarWinds announced SolarWinds Log Manager for Orion, a new log management tool for on-premises IT environments.
Fully integrated with the SolarWinds Orion Platform, Log Manager is designed to provide the essential components an IT operations team needs for improved log monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance management.
While IT infrastructure generates vast amounts of log data each day — from syslogs to SNMP traps and Windows events — the responsibility of evaluating the information to determine which is most valuable falls on the shoulders of technology professionals. Log Manager, the latest addition to the larger SolarWinds network and systems management portfolio, is designed to provide integrated log management and infrastructure performance monitoring within a single platform, empowering users with the ability to filter, search, and visualize log data from thousands of devices and troubleshoot performance near real-time.
“Application uptime is now a key business metric. As such, technology professionals must strive toward optimized performance amidst mounting complexities and hybrid IT challenges,” said Christoph Pfister, EVP of Products, SolarWinds. “Log Manager for Orion was developed specifically for IT operations teams to provide a unified log management and infrastructure performance monitoring solution, helping to generate deeper visibility and actionable insights that can keep the modern business running smoothly.”
Built on the Orion Platform — a modular, scalable, unified monitoring architecture — Log Manager is intended to provide seamless integration with SolarWinds network and systems tools including Network Performance Monitor and Server & Application Monitor. The unified console can deliver single click access to network, systems, and log data — all through a single pane of glass to support accelerated troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
The new Log Manager for Orion solution is also equipped to provide users with an interactive live-mode log stream that helps simplify troubleshooting with the ability to monitor log data and identify potential issues as they occur. Log Manager also supports color-coded tagging of log data to aid with filtering, searching, and identifying performance issues. Users can filter for particular keywords, like event IDs or error codes, as well as refine search timeframes to explore historical and near real-time log data.
SolarWinds Log Manager for Orion is available immediately. SolarWinds Log Manager for Orion is also available bundled with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor or SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...

Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
