OrionLens: No-Code Dashboard Builder for SolarWinds Orion
A visual dashboard builder that lets SolarWinds users create monitoring views without writing SQL, addressing the technical barrier that limits adoption among non-technical teams. The dated Orion interface and complex customization requirements create a real opportunity for a modern layer on top of existing infrastructure.
Problem Statement
SolarWinds Orion users must write SQL queries to create custom dashboards, excluding business analysts and operations staff from building their own monitoring views. The workaround involves either hiring developers, using spreadsheets, or accepting generic out-of-the-box dashboards that do not match operational workflows.
The Idea
A no-code dashboard builder for SolarWinds Orion administrators who need custom monitoring views but lack SQL expertise, providing drag-and-drop visualization creation that exports directly to Orion.
Why Now
SolarWinds has faced increased scrutiny since the 2020 breach, prompting many customers to evaluate alternatives or complementary tools. Simultaneously, the trend toward no-code tools in enterprise software has accelerated, with companies like Retool and Appsmith gaining traction. The combination of platform uncertainty and modern tooling expectations creates a window for a complementary layer.
Target User
IT operations managers and system administrators at mid-market companies using SolarWinds Orion for infrastructure monitoring.
Target Market
Mid-market IT departments (51-1000 employees) running SolarWinds Orion on-premise or in hybrid environments, specifically in healthcare, finance, and manufacturing verticals.
