SSH from Node details screen

In NPM Is it possible to change the Node detail screen to allow SSH from that screen instead of telnet?

  • Yes, it is possible.

    Locate "NodeDetails.ascx in "C:\inetpub\SolarWinds\Orion\NetPerfMon\Resources\NodeDetails"

    Then change or add these lines as shown in the example.

    Example for telnet

    </tr>

    <tr>

     <td class="Property" width="10"> </td>

     <td class="PropertyHeader">Telnet</td>

     <td class="Property"> </td>

     <td class="Property"><a href="telnet://<%#Eval("IPAddress")%>">telnet://<%#Eval("IPAddress")%></a></td>

    </tr>

    If you want you can change it to ssh or add a new connection method or port.

    Example - SSH Port 9955

    such

    <tr>

     <td class="Property" width="10"> </td>

     <td class="PropertyHeader">Juniper SSH</td>

     <td class="Property"> </td>

     <td class="Property"><a href="ssh://<%#Eval("IPAddress")%>:9955">ssh://<%#Eval("IPAddress")%>:9955</a></td>

    </tr>

    Don't forget to restart IIS after the changes. I don't remember it is necessary or not. Do it anyway.

  • Update:  The format's changed since NPM 10.4 came out.  See the following thread:

  • Does anyone know how to create the same links on NPM 12.3?  The file NodeDetails.ascx does not seem to be used anymore.

  • I'm running NPM 12.2 and I have separate Web browser, Telnet. and SSH shortcuts on all my nodes' details pages.

    Is it possible to put it in this section?  I used to have it where the WEB BROWSE link is.
