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.
