Hello All,
I find the need more often than not to have some type of machine identifier. My initial thought was creating a custom property a bool for flagging machines. IsSQLServer, IsExchange etc... What I would rather do is create a table that a custom property would reference. In SQL Server directly this is pretty straight forward. To go with the example given I would usually have something like this:
Create Table dbo.MachineType_Enum
PKID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
MachineTypeLabel NVARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
I would then add a reference to this table by way of a column in whatever table i was working on that was an FK to the table above which held the enumerations.
1, SQL Server
2, Exchange
Is it possible to create the same thing via custom properties? How would i expose this property to every machine I am currently monitoring?
