I digged into the topic a little, only to find that this is beyond my powers to achieve.
I would like to get more interesting data when searching for Nodes.
Right now, if you search by node name (or "caption"), you only get status icons and node names matching your query.
Orion/NetPerfMon/Resources/NodeSearchResults.aspx?Property=Caption&SearchText=
When you query for any other property, you get a list of status icons, node names and that exact property values.
I would like to add there LastBoot, CPU Load, % Memory Used and other stuff.
This way we could get a complete view at site/region status just by querying with link. We use blank query links in browser bookmarks and after getting an error we correct the link by adding search text.
I know this can be done in Orion CustomPropertiesEditor, but:
- you cannot get to CPE by a deep link direct to query
- CPE data is extremely annoying if you try to copy it
- or view it - column widths based on data type regardless of content length, columns positions hard to manage.
This function is managed by a dll App_Web_nodesearchresults.aspx in Solarwinds/bin folder. It's a little bit hardcoded (some functions are in plain text), but it's hash is checked somewhere else. Also, I would like such changes to be done by SW, not by us, network geeks.
