I'd like to build a view where I can see Disk Volumes (as it appears in the default node details screen) from multiple nodes on a single screen. Has anyone found a way to build a custom view like this?
This page explains how to do this for Network Interface Percent Utilization graphs or gauges, but the methodology is the same for Disk Volumes:Display multiple Interface resources in one page - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support
Just select the disk volumes and gauges or graphs you want to display on the same page.
Thank-you for the reply.
I have used this method for graphs successfully. My problem still exists for the disk volumes though. When you do a view source on the volumes all the numbers (like percent used, etc.) are hard coded into the html so when you paste it into a custom tag it appears correctly but will never update.
Any thoughts on how I get the Disk Volumes to work?
I have built a report with the same information but I like the look of the node details Disk Volume a lot more.
Detach the resource and paste in the URL of the detached view, rather than the properties:
OrionServer/.../DetachResource.asp
Not sure if this is what you are looking for?
Yes, that is what I'm looking for. I'll try again. I don't actually have the "detach" button as shown in the instructions so I'll find the option I need to change to show that (I'm assuming there is one somewhere).
Thanks.
Click on the resource title and it will detach.
Yeah, that's what I did originally but the view source from that doesn't work.
So now I understand I need to use the URL. That makes sense. But I can't just paste that into the Custom HTML object or what I get is the url text (not surprisingly). Do you normally put this in a frame or the src for an image tag? I'm just curious what you use. I've used frames for this in the past.

Just replace the italicised code between the quotes with the URL you want to display on the page.<br> adds a line feed between images.
You can use any basic WYSYWIG web editor to create any page you want to display in Orion (including external sites).
