Nodes monitored by Asset Inventory and/or Hardware Health are also considered managed nodes in a SAM-only environment.

In a SAM-only environment, a managed node is any entity from which SAM extracts data directly via supported polling methods (for example, WMI), SolarWinds Platform agents, or API pollers.

The term 'managed node' can be interpreted differently, depending on if you're using other SolarWinds Platform modules with SAM: This scheme provides an alternative to component-based licensing, which controls how many component monitors can be assigned. Node-based licensing in SAMĪ node-based SAM license governs how many managed nodes can be monitored within your environment, while allowing for an unlimited number of component monitors per node.
