How to modify an Orion page/view

With the 12.0 update to Orion, I've lost the ability to modify the default Orion pages. I'd like to know how I can do the following, because it's causing issues for us. Please see the attached picture (I couldn't in-line the image for some reason, sorry).

I want to remove the reference/breadcrumb to the device in my customer port views. I don't want customers seeing stats about the device their port is on. I previously was able to edit the InterfaceDetails.aspx file to comment out the following code:

<img src="<%= ((SolarWinds.Orion.NPM.Web.Interface) this.NetObject).Node.Status.ToString("smallled", null) %>" alt="Status"  />        <npm:NodeLink runat="server" NodeID='<%$ Code: string.Format("N:{0}", this.NetObject["NodeID"]) %>' />

But now that the site is pre-compiled, I don't know how to do this. Can anyone help me out here?

Hi,

You need to edit the c:\InetPub\SolarWinds\PrecompiledApp.Config file:

From:

<precompiledApp version="2" updatable="false" />

To:

<precompiledApp version="2" updatable="true" />

you also need to recycle (or stop/start) the IIS application pool and you're good to go

PS: Nice change btw, I can see it being useful!

Thanks for the input

I found two locations:

c:\InetPub\SolarWinds\ui

c:\InetPub\SolarWinds\api2

Did I make the change in both locations?

The default PrecompiledApp.Config file is set to true, in both locations

How to disable breadcrumb

Hi,

I always disable this, but that is not the intent of my original post, which has since been answered completely in another thread. For clarity, what I had been doing prior to 12.x was editing the InterfaceDetails.aspx page and remove the link to the device to which the interface was attached. For example, near the top of the page, you would see:

Interface Details - Node - Interface

I would remove the 'Node' portion because when you hover over it, it shows you details about the node in the popup. I don't want my customers seeing these details and there was no way to get that popup to not appear without modifying the .aspx file and removing the code for it.

Hi, what is the thread where you got the answer?

I am also interested in disabling the popup, for me it is a security problem.

This is where I got it from:

Keep in mind that every time you upgrade or run the configuration wizard, it will negate your changes, so you have to do it all over again.

Hi,

Unless mistaken, those locations are used by NetPath and the Web License Manager so no need to edit anything there
