SolarWinds Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) is designed to detect, track, and compare system and application changes in your environment. Built on the popular SolarWinds Orion Platform, you can gain systems change visibility in a unified and fullstack monitoring experience. Server, operating system, and application configurations change constantly. Knowing when these changes take place, what changed, and who made the change without a change monitoring tool is nearly impossible. With SCM, be able to quickly pinpoint the root cause of a problem by easily comparing configuration changes over time and correlating them with availability and performance metrics.

• Designed to alert you on system and application changes so you know first. Agent-based monitoring allows for near real-time awareness and the ability to track changes made offline.
• Visually compare OS and application configurations stored in text and binary files, directories, or the Windows Registry over time, and get alerted when things change.
• Create baselines to use as points of reference for future configuration comparisons.
• Correlate configuration changes with other performance and availability of your systems and applications on a visual timeline.
• Centrally manage your homegrown PowerShell scripts, distribute those scripts to servers in your environment, and then track and alert on changes to the output of those scripts.
• Gain better control of your IT inventory with an up-to-date list of your server hardware component inventory and OS installed software assets.
