I am working with Dashboards and I was wondering if there was anyway to use a Custom Property as a limitation for a Classic Dashboard? Maybe I am just not seeing that option. Thanks!
Does this help
Filter data on modern dashboards using global filters (solarwinds.com)
Dashboards or views (solarwinds.com)
Thank you. I will have a look and see if this helps.
So the step that lots of people miss is that you need to log into your primary server and run the account limitation builder. Its a little app that lets you pick your custom properties from a drop down, set the type of filter you want to use (i almost always just use check box) and then as soon as you hit okay those properties will be added to the list of available view and account limitations.
An alternative approach that I use a lot is to build groups that are filtered how I want, and then just use the "Group of groups" view limitation type and select my group from there. I auto generate groups for lots of use cases so its convenient to be able to have a dashboard of all nodes in the group and all their metrics.
Check out what's coming in the next release
New user interface for custom properties management.
The web-based Account Limitation Builder application replaced the stand-alone application.

I had no idea that existed and it looks like it will be going web based in the future. Thanks!!!
