Well it depends on the permissions you gave Orion

But some of the installations I have worked on

250-2000 network devices

Anything from 100 to 1000 servers.

In fact my latest contract / job is the first in 10+ years where solarwinds isn’t the preferred monitoring platform.

I would personally never give solarwinds write permission to anything, although I know plenty of companies who do.
