Configure your Solarwinds account authentication in KeySafe in order to use the Solarwinds options.

In the admin console > System > Security > KeySafe

  • Select on + and select Solarwinds option
  • Give the Solarwinds KeySafe a Title (this is the name / identifier for the Solarwinds account as you will see it when using the Integration Call node in your business process)
  • Optionally add a description
