All,
I dont know if this has been posted here before but i said i would post it anyway. My organisation has multiple ways of connecting to remote devices on our network, from SSHv2, telnet, http, https etc. I wanted to be able to edit the SWToolSet options that show up on Orion web portal to include options such as above but also to remove options that are only available with a local installation of the engineers tool set (which i do not possess except on my server). Other posts mention how to do this if you have Engineers toolset installed locally on your PC by editing the SWToolset.MenuOptions file . This file though is also installed seemingly once you install SWToolset. The SWToolset.MenuOptions file can be found at the following path in Windows 7 (i dont have XP installed so i cant check for this distro im afraid):
C:\Users\ username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Solarwinds\Common
You can open this file using notepad. I have so far edited as follows and now i have a customised SWToolset right click options:
<!-- Supported options are: -->
<!-- ${TARGET} = IP or hostname (prefrence to IP) -->
<!-- ${IP} = IP -->
<!-- ${HOSTNAME} = Hostname -->
<!-- ${COMMUNITY}, ${IFNAME}, ${IFINDEX} ${QUOTE} -->
<!-- 'Required=' The sum of the parameters needed for that menu option to be enabled. --><!-- IP=1, Hostname=2, Target=4, IFIndex=8, IFName=16 --><!-- --><!-- --><!-- <MenuOption Visible="True" Title="DOS Ping" ExecString="command /K ping ${IP}"></MenuOption> -->
<SWToolset Version="1">
