When I create a new map and view it, under the map is the node name, node type and node status.
Am I able to add variables like IP address of devices to that? Or is it just something that is created automatically?
When I mouse over an object on my map I see the IP address just fine.
You are able to use the same variables that are found I believe under the Alert Variables section of the User Guide.
I personally have my network links setup to show the configured interface speed and the current transmit and receive utilization.
ex.
Speed ${InterfaceSpeed}In ${InPercentUtil} Out ${OutPercentUtil}
I am talking about the objects that are automatically generated below the root level map. Can I add modify these?
The short answer is no... But Network Guru will probably come along and whip out some custom code that will do it
