Widget Editing

stuartd

Our main Solarwinds support / manager / developer is off on long term sick at present and whilst I can cover off a lot of his duties I don't know how to do this.

We have a widget that he created called 'Device_Credentials' which displays a few custom properties that relate to, well, device credentials. I need to add another custom property to that and thought it would just be a matter of clicking edit and adding the relvant CP.

Only I'm presnted with this view:

And I have no idea how to add my new custom property.

Anybody any ideas please? Presumably I need to update 'CPNAME' somehow, but not a clue where to go to do that.

You'll need to click select data source, make sure to make a copy of what's already there because you run a good chance of breaking it if you don't know SWQL or SQL well.  Actually even when you do, I break my widgets all the time trying to make small changes and forgetting a comma or typing something slightly off. 

Anyway you'd edit the query to include to new data, submit that, and from the look of it you'd be good to go since that table seems to be set up in key: value format already.
