F5 widget using netobject variable

I am adding new widget to F5 virtual server details page (Orion/F5/F5VirtualServerDetails.aspx?netobject=F5VS%3a566&ViewID=13)

This widget is a custom table with an swql query that displays the current connections for the VIP

I have the query correct but need to use the variable for the netobject so all the other virtual server pages only show their own connections.

Select ShortName as [VIP], Connections FROM Orion.F5.LTM.VirtualServer
WHERE VirtualServerID = '566'

which variable would i use for the VirtualServerID ???

Or is there another way to get these connections displayed ??

thanks

Have you tried ${VirtualServerID} ?

In most cases the way those variables on entity details pages work is they are exactly the same as the column names you find in the main database table for that kind of object, so for example if you see an attribute in the Nodes table, then you can call it into a nodes detail view with things like ${nodeid}, ${caption} or any other db column name.

This docs page shows all the attributes for virtual servers so i would expect all of these to work if you wrap them ${}

Thanks

this put me on the right road, for some reason ${VirtualServerID} displayed all the virtual servers but ${ID} worked, only displaying the data for the specific VIP

Ah yeah, one of the things that can sometimes trip you up is that the attributes are based on the real DB column names, but if you are checking in SWQL they occasionally have renamed how they display some of the column names to try and make them more specific. When in doubt use the database manager or SSMS and you can find the real field names.
