Hi, dear friends!
Some time ago I thought that it's specific property of huge corporations to be a slow and reactive...unfortunately this pattern also could be applicable for not so big companies (of course - not so small also). I'm talking about SolarWinds company - well known producer of cool monitoring stuff (and that's true - they do really cool tools and they really care about IT people!).
So I've found ridiculous forum thread which started in 2004, continues in 2009 and finally done in 2011...this thread is about external API for SolarWinds Orion. Some guy asked for it and realized that there was no API or SDK in 2004...another guy asked about it in 2009 again with high hopes "...This post is over 5 years old, so I guess I'll ask the question..." Ho-ho-ho! So optimistic! NOOOOO! They had no it in 2009...
SolarWinds must say their customers really big thanks for patience because they released SDK only now!
You can find this really-wanted SDK at http://thwack.solarwinds.com/forums/6/solarwinds-community/216/orion-sdk/29001/orion-sdk-information/
And you can read that sad forum thread there: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/forums/48/network-management/9/orion-network-performance-monitor/386/solarwinds-api/
Thank you, guys!
