Hi there Sali,

You can approach this in two different ways:

1. Mess around with the source code of the base Orion pages:
Open X:\inetpub\SolarWinds\NetPerfMon\Resources\2-1-NodeDetails\01-NodeDetails.Resource
Find:

<% SWToolsetIcon "Browser",Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>

Change to:

<a href="https://&lt;%=Node.GetProperty(&quot;IP_Address&quot;)%&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src="/NetPerfMon/images/Small.Goto.gif"></a>

Before you make the change make a backup copy of the 01-NodeDetails.Resource file. Just in case.

2. You can create a custom property called HTTPS or HTTPS_SUPER_COOL or some similar nifty name. Make it text with a length of 50 or so.

Place this in the custom property for each node that has an HTTPS resource available:

<a target=_blank href={IP_Address}>HTTPS_Link</a>

Then add a custom resource to your node details page (through the admin options on the Orion web page) that includes the custom property HTTPS. For each node that has a value entered in the custom property a link will show up. Any node that does not have an entry for the custom property will not show anything, which is kind of nice.

Be fantastic.
