Service Level Agreement?

 I noticed on the Orion demo the traffic charts have a "Service Level Agreement" line:

npmv7.solarwinds.net/.../CustomChart.asp

How was this accomplished?

The Orion Web Console can display a Service Level Agreement (SLA) line on any Min/Max/Average bps chart. When you add a customer property named “SLA” and populate the field with your devices’ SLA values, the Orion Web Console will display the appropriate line on your charts.

To add a Service Level Agreement line to Min/Max/Average bps charts:

1. Open Custom Property editor by clicking Start > SolarWinds Orion > Advanced Features > Custom Property Editor.
2. Click Properties > Add Custom Properties.
3. Ensure Add Predefined Properties is selected.
4. Check the interfaces property named SLA, and then click OK.
5. Click Properties > Edit Interface Properties.
6. Type the SLA value (in bps) in the SLA column for each interface you want to edit, and then press the Enter key. For example, 1544000 for a T1 interface (1.544 Mbps) or 225000 for a serial connection running at 225 Kbps.
7. Close the Custom Property Editor and open the Orion Web Console.
8. Browse to the Interface Details view of one of the interfaces you edited. The SLA line will be added to any chart showing Min/Max/Average bps.

Note: The SLA line may not appear immediately. It may take several minutes for the change to be detected by the Orion web engine.
