Customizing Node Details resource in NPM 10.4

Hello,

Before I updated to NPM 10.4, I had my Node Details resource customized a little bit for ease of drilling into resources.

I did this by adding links to custom properties, letting the users click a mailto link to contact the node's infrastructure or application owner, plus a couple hyperlinks exclusive to the node (console, QuickBase, et cetera).

I did this by editing NodeDetails.ascx, as outlined in the following thread:

SSH from Node details screen

It seems with the update to 10.4, the format's changed a little. It actually looks a little simpler. Referencing a Custom Property used to look a little like this:

<tr>

<td class="PropertyHeader">Infrastructure Contact</td>

</tr>

Can someone update me with the right way to reference those custom properties as of 10.4?

Thanks!

Hello,

We changed that resource to load its data asynchronously.

What needs to be done is:

1. backup files mentioned bellow

2. open file AsyncResources.asmx, default location is in "c:\inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\Services\"

3. locate string "node.HrefIPAddress" (without quotes)

4. add ", ObjectProperties = node.ObjectProperties.ToDictionary(de => de.Key.ToLower(), de => de.Value != null ? de.Value.ToString() : string.Empty)" just behind "node.HrefIPAddress" (without quotes)

5. open NodeDetails.ascx, default location is in "C:\inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\NetPerfMon\Resources\NodeDetails"

6. in html template refer to custom property like this: "{{ ObjectProperties.city }}", example:

<tr>

<td class="PropertyHeader">Infrastructure Contact</td>

<td class="Property"><a href="mailto:{{ ObjectProperties.infrastructureowner }}">{{ ObjectProperties.infrastructureowner }} </a></td>

</tr>

Note that this solution is not supported. Files are replaced when website is configured by Configuration Wizard.
