After completing this chapter you should be trained to thoroughly tailor SolarWinds SAM to your organization's network environment. Depending on the size of the company it can be a tedious initial process, but the end result will be well worth it.
Next we will explore advanced features, including events, SNMP traps, and alerts. These features will be more beneficial if you methodically customize SolarWinds SAM beforehand.
