Solarwinds Installed Software Query

we had a need recently to know what versions of products where installed across the Orion environment and found that there's currently no one place to find it, fine if only have 2-3 servers but when have a greater number and multiple Orion modules gets more complicated.  Ended up with a small query to read the information from the asset information and display on a environment configuration page.

This depends on software inventory being collected and at present only provides details of the software in add/remove programs and not the details of any hotfixes that are installed, one for later, maybe linking into the engine tables so don't have to add server display names.

To use create a custom query resource and add use this query.   Change the <Insert You Sername Here> to the actual name you have the servers in Orion as.

    FROM Orion.AssetInventory.Software

    INNER JOIN Orion.Nodes ON Software.NodeID=Nodes.NodeID

    WHERE Software.Publisher like '%Solar%'  and

    (  Nodes.DisplayName like '<Insert Your Servername Here>'

    or Nodes.DisplayName like '<Insert Your Servername Here>'

    or Nodes.DisplayName like '<Insert Your Servername Here>')

you should see something like this
