Firewalling and security group rules are discussed on:

https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Automation_Manager/NAM_Install_Guide/030/020,

When installing the swiagent RPM, there's a note to initialize the service, which is run through a handler after successful package installation.

```

#

#===========================================================

# NEXT STEPS

#

# Installation finished successfully. Please continue

# configuring the agent by running the following command:

#

#      service swiagentd init

#

#

# If you encounter a permission error, try running the command

# as root. If the "service" command is not found, try using

# the full path (i.e. /sbin/service or /usr/sbin/service).

#===========================================================

```

Requirements

------------

Perl will be installed in addition to swiagent as part of supporting monitoring extensions.

Role Variables

--------------

```

orion_hosts: []

```

Dependencies

------------

None.

Example Playbook

----------------

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

    - hosts: all:!platform_windows

      vars:

        orion_hosts:

          - https://solarwinds.example.com

          - https://10.13.251.123:443

          - https://10.13.251.34

        # swiagent_ipaddress and target should be the same destination

        swiagent_ipaddress: "10.15.1.102"

        swiagent_target: solarwinds_poller.example.com

      roles:

        - deekayen.swiagent
