Hey, have just added the ‘Last XX Notes’ to Nodes Details page. Do any of you use this / have ideas to share on what it may be handy for? Also, any idea as to where these notes reside in the DB?
Could use the notes section for change requests or incident numbers for reference sakes. its always handy to leave breadcrumbs here and there.
Yes, for sure - but having only just noticed this, I would like to find out more about it. Anyone know where I could find this documented - and where it logs to in the DB (as this would be handy to report on)
Hi, would like to share this with you as I find this very useful (being able to leave NOTES on a Node for others to see).
This is a new feature, and has snuck in without any announcement or documentation. I for one would like to see this feature mature as it is the perfect way to track notes on a node. If anyone else would like to discuss ways this could be of use, I will put my hand up for this to be a feature request.
If you have tried this, and want to know where there notes are stored, check in the following table: dbo.NodesNotes
Hi, Last XX Notes is a new feature that you keep notes on Nodes. You can see notes history as well.
The functionality of this feature is poor I believe so I suggested to the following :
To be able to print the notes in reports!
If you agree feel free to vote.
Thanks
It appears int the table NodeNotes. I cannot see where we would delete them , or how log they are retained.
I have deleted the entries from the table after test.
This query works for me in reports and on our Summary page.
Select A.NodeID,A.Caption,B.Note,B.AccountID,B.TimeStamp
FROM [SolarWindsOrion].[dbo].[Nodes] A ,
[SolarWindsOrion].[dbo].[NodeNotes] B
where A.NodeID = B.NodeID
I too would love to see some documentation or even discussion on this table- we've been using a separate way of holding Notes for several years and having this table available is great- one MAJOR help for us would be to be able to add a Note to multiple Nodes at the same time- if a site goes down and multiple Nodes are Down- it'd be great to be able to note that in one place and not have to open xx number of Details pages and copy paste the same information into every Node
I'm always up for reading about undocumented features. Sometimes those little East eggs make my day.
