Nodes Custom Properties are not displaying External Nodes.

Hi,

This is probably by design by default, but I need to be able to display "Nodes Custom Properties" resource tab for External Nodes.

Issue is, when I create the External Node, there are custom properties associated with that node, however the resource is not showing. I do have the option to change this to ICMP, however, I do not want to collect data for this particular node, plus I like the purple arrow icon.

Is there a way to get this "Nodes Custom Properties" resource with External Nodes?

A workaround that will span it vertically is to use a Custom Table resource, & use a custom SQL query that uses UNPIVOT.

Looks like this bug is still not yet fixed, I also see it in my NPM 12.0 + SAM 6.2.4 environment.

A workaround is to :

Edit the Node Details view

Add a 'custom table' resource to this view, hit SUBMIT.

Configure the Custom table resource by clicking either the EDIT button or the CONFIGURE THIS RESOURCE link.

Keep the check mark on 'Use current network object as Data Source' and click ADD COLUMN

In the Add Column dialog box, on its left hand side click NODES CUSTOM PROPERTIES. Put check marks on each custom property you want to show up, click ADD COLUMN button.

Finally once brought back to the EDIT RESOURCE : CUSTOM TABLE page, hit SUBMIT.

You should be returned to the Node Details page.

See if the Custom table resource is able to show you your custom properties.

**NOTE: This will list everything horizontally.**

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the workaround, but my custom property spans about 20+ fields, and having it populate horizontally won't work.

I need to span it vertically if you have that workaround.

Thanks.

ekis can you show me that SQL code to pivot. Thanks!

Can you show the steps to create the custom table, particularly the Select Datasource part and the column creation
