How to make a pingdom widget in the new Orion Modern Dashboard (2020.2 RC)

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. 

For even faster Pingdom integration using the API poller, you can also choose to use the OOTB Pingdom API Poller template! 

Under API Poller Management -> Click Assign 

Search for Pingdom and you'll find the template there to help you monitor your transaction checks! 

Here's a "classic dashboard" widget. It autolinks to the perfstack data for each monitored check.

<div id="status_table" class="sw-rpt-tbl-frame">
<script>

//Pingdom Stats Widget 0.75 written by Chris O'Rourke May 22nd, 2020. 
//Change the TOP count to match the number of displayed results you want. 
	var swql="SELECT TOP 30 DisplayName, DetailsUrl, Metric, Status
FROM Cortex.Orion.ApiPoller.ValueToMonitor WHERE RelatedApiPoller = <pollerID as shown in the api url>"

	var params = JSON.stringify({
		query: swql,
		parameters: {
		}
	});
	
	$.ajax({
		type: 'POST',
		url: '/Orion/Services/Information.asmx/QueryWithParameters',
		data: params,
		contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
		dataType: "json",
		success: function(response) {
			//console.log(response.d.Rows);
			
			//Massage variables for output
			var cleanVars = [];
			for(var i=0; i < response.d.Rows.length; i++){
				cleanVars[i] = {};
				cleanVars[i]['service'] = response.d.Rows[i][0];
				cleanVars[i]['link'] = response.d.Rows[i][1];
				cleanVars[i]['ping'] = response.d.Rows[i][2];
				cleanVars[i]['status'] = response.d.Rows[i][3];
			}
			//console.log(cleanVars);
			
			
			//Initial Table and Headers
			var statusTable = "<table class='sw-custom-query-table NeedsZebraStripes' style='table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='0'>";
			statusTable += "<thead><tr class='HeaderRow'>";
			statusTable += "<th class='ReportHeader' style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;'>Service</th>";
			statusTable += "<th class='ReportHeader' style='font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;'>Ping</th>";
			statusTable += "</tr></thead>";
			
			//Add Services to Table
			for(var i=0; i < cleanVars.length; i++){
				statusTable += "<tr>";
				
				statusTable += "<td>";
				
				if (cleanVars[i]['status'] == '1'){
					statusTable += "<img src='/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-up.gif' alt='Node Status Okay' style='vertical-align:bottom;margin-right:8px;'>";
				} else {
					statusTable += "<img src='/Orion/images/StatusIcons/Small-down.gif' alt='Node Status Down' style='vertical-align:bottom; margin-right:8px;'>";

				}
				
				statusTable += "<a href='" + cleanVars[i]['link'] + "'>" + cleanVars[i]['service'] + "</a></td>";
				
				statusTable += "<td>" + cleanVars[i]['ping'] + " ms </td>";
				
				statusTable += "</tr>";
				
			}			
			
			
			//Table Close
			statusTable += "</table>";
			
			
			//Grab Element from DOM and Write
			var table = document.getElementById('status_table');
			table.innerHTML = statusTable;
		}
	})
</script>
</div>

serena I had no idea that functionality was there!  Any chance it can get it's own spot in the admin all settings page?

Great request and we're definitely looking to surface better management in the settings page. Not available yet in the 2020.2 release, but it's something we're thinking through how to best serve your needs there. Please continue to send feedback to us so we can progress! adam.hert  is the PM for SAM going forward, so he'll be able to bring you into user research sessions regarding the topic. 

This is great. Just recently new to Solarwinds few months ago and we have sites registered in Pingdom but only browsing it through the web. Pretty cool it's can be included on the dashboard.

Hi, Is it working on 2020.2.4 ? I tried but "Cortex.Orion.ApiPoller.ValueToMonitor" table was not found. 

edit: It is indeed broken. At some point it changed over to another spot in the database and I'd corrected the widget in our production environment without updating my notes. 

New location should be: 

It seems the newest update broke both the threshold functionality as well as the pingdom default (new oob template is transactions only not uptime that I can see) as well as the widget doesn't allow "metric" to be selected as a threshold value.

Seems the NPM and widget ui/ux team forgot to test pingdom functionality and compatibility.

I thought I was going crazy trying to get this to work, but if it's broken I won't waste any more time!  

I have been toying with this in 2020.2.6
