Orion NOC View (WORK IN PROGRESS)

I've been working on a NOC view that dynamically updates using AJAX.

This is still very rough, and is limited to only two resources (Node status lists and Active Alerts).

I'm posting this here in an effort to try to both get help on its development and to provide an example of the .

Please feel free to use this, work from it, add to it, whatever... I only ask that if you do add or advance the project you post back here so that we all can benifit.

Update 5/11/2012:

I've been working on trying to integrate my NOC View into Orion itself, the previously posted file only provided a standalone web application.

I have the view started, still working on trying to override some of the inherited code specifically around the individual resources. I may have to create a whole new set of dynamic resources to use with the NOC View.

Anyway... so here's what I have so far, I am still trying to get the new NOC View to show up in the list of available view types (http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/48814).

To install, just extract the files into your \Solarwinds\Orion\ web content directory. Right now, you'll need to rename/delete the NetOpCenter.config file, otherwise you'll get the ASP.NET error I'm still trying to figure out...

NetOpCenter.zip
  • can you please ellaborate on the "installation" of the view
  • From what it sounds this is exaclty what I am trying to do as well. Chris do you have any quick install instructions so I can look at it and see...if your not pressed for time please post or simply shoot me a screen shot as welll.

  • Same.. A little help on how a implement this would be nice.
  • There isn't any "installation" as of yet. Right now it is a stand-alone web app that uses SWIS to call back and get the object statuses.

    I'm not a programmer by any definition, so all of this is just an exersise in trying to come up with something that may get a "real" programmer started.

    Hey Guys,

    This is very interesting - and I have also been looking for a way to accomplish this.  Has there been any updates on the progress?  Would love to hear from you all!

    Thanks in advance.

  • The latest update that won't blow up your system is posted above.

    I'm currently working on a couple of additional resources that work in conjunction with the view to make things more real-time. As well as trying to figure out how to extend the column count beyond the 3 limit imposed by the base summary view. I've had mixed success in actually getting Orion to see my view as a completely independent view type (ie listed as an option when creating a new view), so there's that as well that I've been trying to "fix".

    I've not had a lot of time to focus on this, and not being a programmer, I've not really gotten very far. My hope in posting what I have done was that someone who was a programmer (or at least a better one than I) would take what I've started and build on it, a la Open Source.

  • This post is for a custom built, prototype that I created prior to the release of NPM 10.7 (which introduced an official NOC view feature).

    The official NOC view is available in NPM 10.7, the Administrators Guide can be found here.
