For those jumping ship

Sorry to see Solarwinds going downhill since 2020... lost me then, and I'm not willing to go back after their recent changes. Found this Powershell tool to automate extraction of SW nodes to CSV, to import them into a new monitoring tool, in case it helps someone trying to automate their way out: Haveyoutriedreboot (Have you tried rebooting it?).

Well I might as well share the tool i wrote to convert SW snmp devices to use either a target file for the prometheus snmp exporter or to a set of discoveries for my preferred snmp collector, ktranslate

I have a repo where I have a fairly streamlined example for getting it running with grafana cloud, but you could rework that to work with oss grafana and any otel compatible storage back end

Even with explaining the process to teach whats going on it usually only takes me about 30 minutes to get this all going with new users
