Custom Poller Resources

Okay, I know this is probably a quick fix that I'm overlooking, but I've spent too many hours on this and I'm looking for some help. When I import a custom poller that I've downloaded from the web site and assign it to devices, the views don't show up under the device. I'm not sure where they are for me to add them. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

To add poller resources to web console views:

1. Click Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Universal Device Poller.

2. In the All Defined Pollers pane of the Orion Universal Device Poller window, click +, as necessary, to expand the poller tree, and then click the poller you want to add as a web console resource.

3. Confirm
that you have selected the poller you want to duplicate by viewing the
poller properties in the main Orion Universal Device Poller window.

4. Right-click the poller to add as a resource, and then click Web Display.

5. Confirm that Yes is selected, and then, for each available Orion NPM view, check the types of poller resources that you want to display.

Note: Click Preview to see how your poller resource will display in the selected Orion Web Console view.

6. If you only want to display the poller resource when the poller returns valid results, check Do not show this poller if it is not assigned.

7. Click Finish.

THANKS!!! It's been so long since I added a new poller I forgot this step. Thanks again.

The answer provided is only half the answer. It helps in applying the poller to the device, ok, but does not tell us WHERE on the web page we can find the actual result, nor how to use it on reports and such.

I followed these steps to apply a custom poller to a group of devices. Still I cannot see the output from this poll on the webpage for those devices/node. In the node details page for that node, I click on the Pollers link under Node Details section, and I see my Custom Poller is enabled, yet I when I go back to the webpage I dont see the results. When I snmpwalk the device from my Linux box I can see there's is a value for the MIB variable I am polling, so I know it responds with data. Yet I cannot see it on the webpage.

You need to add the resource to that particular Node page. Probably the Node Details page. You can then position the resource anywhere you like on the page. You need to remember that not everyone wants their custom poller data to be displayed on the node's page, so you have to manually add it.
