Use Application Component data in table

robert777

Greetings.

I've used the Solarwinds SAM product for about a year.

Question: how to use data collected by an application component monitor in, for example, a custom table?

Example: Let's say I have 4 Windows Domain Controllers - DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4 .

Build a custom component monitor to pull, say "LDAP Searches Per Second".  Very good.

Understood that I can pull an application widget into a view and see the results of that component monitor, which by default has a graphic and a bunch of data about that application along with the actual "statistic" displayed with other data in a view tile.

But... what if I just want to build a custom table with the server names and the statistic.  Like this:

SERVER NAME        LDAP SEARCHES/SEC

DC1                              230

DC2                              314

DC3                              157

DC4                              278

I have looked under the Data Source section and the "select columns" part of reports and custom tables, Application table, and I cannot find the actual statistic (counter) that the component monitor was set up to pull.

Can someone offer guidance on the best way to use counters pulled via application component monitor in reports and tables other than the "applications" widget?  Thanks.

Your problem was that you selected an application instead of a component, you always need to select the most specific object type when you are setting up these reports.

You can do that with a custom table resource, set up the data source like this:

Then when it asks you which columns you want to include just select the node caption and statistic data
