Can you edit the "Hover over" display

Just a couple quick questions about the hover over displays. Your time and answers are much appreciated.

In NPM 9.5 we can now hover over a node and see such details as Avg Resp Time, Packet Loss, CPU load, and Memory Used.

My first question is, where is it getting this memory usage number? On the particular server in question, My Node details page shows that box with 31% Virtual mem usage and 51% Physical mem usage. However, If I hover over the node on the home page the pop up says 44% for Memory Usage. This 44% seems inaccurate and useless as it currently is, which leads me to my second question.

My second question: Is there a way to change what shows up in the hover over menu? Instead of the items listed above can I display what ever items I want? For example can I hover and show Hard Drive space for C: and and then maybe Physical and Virtual Memory instead of the default fields of Avg Resp Time, Packet Loss, CPU load, and Memory Used?

I appreciate any input you can provide.

No you cannot edit the items we show currently. What you can do is for maps only, not the other hover overs you can extend them, see my post here

CSringer,

Regarding the difference between the two memory values that you see, I can tell you that these two values do come from different MIBs. Microsoft reports to a total memory (virtual + physical) MIB value which is where the Memory and CPU gauges pull from and then there is a MIB for volumes that reports the unique values for physical vs virtual memory consumption. If you are working with Microsoft, that's why I would expect the difference. The two values are going to be on two different poll cycles and most likely with several minutes difference between them if you left the default poll values. That's why I would expect you are seeing what you are with those memory values and both should be correct with respect to when the value was polled and what it is reporting.

Brandon's suggestions is right on if you are willing to work within the maps.

Thanks,

Thanks for the link and thanks for taking the time to reply.

I edited the C:\Inetpub\SolarWindsNPM\Orion\NetPerfMon\nodepopup.aspx file to remove the memory information.

We find this useless, as it represents Physical+Virtual Memory.

I removed this section of code:

<%if (Node.MemoryUsed != -2) {%>
        <tr>
            <th>Memory Used:</th>
            <td><npm:MemoryUsed runat="server" ID="MemoryUsed" /></td>
            <orion:InlineBar runat="server" ID="MemoryUsedBar" />
        </tr>
        <%}%>
