Application custom properties - in template?

Question

My shop uses custom properties in applications to identify system owner, etc.

I see that you can add custom properties to running applications.  However, I don't see a place to add custom properties to application templates.

Can you add custom properties to application templates?

Thanks.

No, you can't add custom properties to SAM application templates. As a workaround, you can use "Tags" field of application templates. You can define comma separated list if you wish to add multiple values to a template.

This SolarWinds article provides details on configuring it: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/sam/content/sam-managing-templates-sw1127.htm#Tag

You could either make an alert that selects your target application monitors and takes the action "update custom property" for un-UI.

Else could do it off the API/Orion SDK

Connect-swis

Get IDS where something
Generate properties
For each ID in IDs Update-swisentity( or whatever it is)
