Want to add a filter to Appstack StackFilterProperty defaults

So EVERY time we go to AppStack Environment view we add the same filter each time and I would like to add it to the defaults (Status,EntityName,Application Name)

I've duplicated the 'Orion.APM.Application|Name' row in dbo.StackFilterProperty with a NewID(), UiOrder=400, UserOverride=1, AlwaysAdded=1, Stack='app', and the just changed the json to 'Orion.APM.Application|StatusDescription'

Restarted website, no dice. Any input on how to accomplish this?

Ok, understood. The feature request (add a specific set of properties to the refine further panel every time I come to the AppStack Environment view) makes sense... and you've done that by interacting with the internals.

Good job (not supported yet!) doing it yourself. I'll add an entry for that user story.

For your records, the format of the FieldRefId (for AppStack) goes like this:

EntityType|PropertyName

StartingEntityType>NavigationPropertyName|PropertyName

OR
StartingEntityType>NavigationPropertyName.NavigationPropertyName.NavigationPropertyName|PropertyName

Note: In SWQL Studio (Orion SDK) the navigation property names are noted with an icon that looks like two connected chain links.

Well I remembered iisreset so that did it

How would I get a filter for nodes custom properties

I tried K=Appstack_Category_servers and with "FieldRefiD":"Orion.Nodes|MachineType" and that does work but

no go on these(system is our custom property):

"FieldRefiD":"Orion.Nodes|System"

"FieldRefiD":"Orion.Nodes|CustomProperties.System"

"FieldRefiD":"Orion.Nodes|Nodes.CustomProperties.System"

"FieldRefiD":"Orion.Nodes.CustomProperties|System"

Any thoughts - this would be a huge time saver and encourage more Appstack use in our group.

Used Hubble to dissect an AppStack saved layout and came up with something that works but I don't see why.

Now off to try and set a default value and custom display name.

Hey there.

We kind of expected you to configure a filter, save it as a layout, and then make a menu entry (or replace the "Environment one") with the URL of your saved layout.

Have you tried this? If so, what part isn't fitting your workflow?

Fair enough but now I know how to add a stack filter so when people open any saved layout in the environment view it shows the other defaults I want.
