Advanced Node Details

In version six there was an unsupported tool called "Advanced Node Details" Since upgrading to version 7 this feature does not work. This is the feature the allows you to telnet or http directly from ORION. This is one of the most heavily used features on my campus. I know this is an unsupported feature but I think it would be really great if solarwinds could make this work in version 7 as well. Has anyone else had this expirience? Solarwinds please advise.

Thanks,
Dimo

You just need to re-install the resource in the inetpub folder:

If you backed up your files from V6 then you just have to restore
the one file to the Miscellaneous resource folder.

What we do example:

1. Create custom property "web access" in custom property editor
2. Create your own resource file with the following included:

<td class="Property"><a target="_blank" href="<%=Node.GetProperty("webaccess")%>">Web Access</a></td>

3. Add the resource to node details view

Now, whatever you have filled in for this field for each node will be the direct link.
Works well for us with the following examples:
"">http://10.0.0.1" (basic page)
"">https://10.0.0.1" (secure page used by alot of devices)
"">https://10.0.0.1:1311" (secure page with specific port)

We also throw on the telnet link for that resource file:

<td class="Property"><a target="_blank" href="telnet://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>">Telnet Access</a></td>

Actually, you can combine the two ideas and make it really easy.

First, add a custom property to the database, say Telnet. You can set this field to "<a target=_blank href=telnet://${IP_Address}>Telnet Access</a>" (custom fields can contain macro too).

Next, on the Node Details View, add a Custom Property resource.

Not sure if anyone else has done it this way yet, but this is what I am doing. I put the links right after the Node Status in the same row, so it looks like:

Node Status (green dot) Node status is Up. [Telnet][HTTP][HTTPS]

Granted this can not be used on all nodes, but it is there if you need it.

Edit the 01-NodeDetails.Resource page and add the last 3 a href lines or just replace what is there with all I have pasted:

<tr>
<td class="Property" width="10"> </td>
<td class="PropertyHeader" vAlign="center">Node Status</td>
<td class="Property"><%=Node.GetProperty("GroupStatus")%></td>
<td class="Property"><%=Node.GetProperty("StatusDescription")%>
<a href="telnet://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>">[Telnet]</a>
<a href="http://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>" Target="new">[HTTP]</a>
<a href="https://<%=Node.GetProperty("IP_Address")%>" Target="new">[HTTPS]</a>
</td>
