I have created a project in Perfstack Analysis but for some reason, the users in the same AD group as I am cannot view the ones I've created.
What error message are they getting? does is it work using the URL?
Any analysis project you save is accessible by other users. Click the load button at the top of the dashboard to search for saved projects. Use these projects as-is or as the basis of a new project.
Projects that you load that you have not created can only be saved using More > Save As.
You can also share the URL with others. For example, you may use PerfStack to identify the root cause of an issue you are experiencing and send the URL in a help desk ticket for a technician to view.
No errors. The projects do not show up under the Load button. It is worth mentioning that the 4 guys that are having this issue are admins of the site.
I will have them test again today to verify.
I sent the guys a link to one of the projects and they were able to view it. However, the projects do not show up under Load --> Find Projects
I've got the same issue. I can create Perfstacks, but others cannot see them when they click Load>Find Projects
This is by design you can only view projects that you have created or saved.

Kind of odd don't you think?
So in order for other techs in my department to see the projects I've created, I have to email them the link so they can save it as a project?
Perhaps that will be a future release? We use Riverbed Enterprise Profiler and that is nice to be able to create a dashboard that others can view (not edit, only view -- if they want to edit they have to save a copy to their profile and edit). Of course you have to 'share' it appropriately or it will be private.
If you've saved a project and shared the link with another Orion user, once they click on that project it should always be available to them. There is no need for them to save their own copy. Any updates you make to the PerfStack project will be reflected in their dashboard when they load the project. Those users cannot however, modify your project without making a saved copy of their own.
We are working on improvements to PerfStack which should make sharing projects amongst teams easier for admins. PerfStack is the first real Orion feature which allows non-admins to create, save, and customize an unlimited number of their own troubleshooting dashboards. This frees the Orion administrator in many cases, from needing to get involved in either the initial creation or maintenance upkeep of these saved views. It allows team members to collaborate in ways never before possible.
I think it would be better if there's a Perfstack settings from the account Manager settings.
the Projects have the capability to filter too under 'EDIT LIMITATION' per account
And then, PerfStack account limitation must have at least 4 categories (like NCM)
1. for Super Admin - this admin has the capability to view/update/remove all projects and can also create a project
2. Engineer - has the capability to view/update/create but unable to remove projects
3. Operations - has the capability to view/update/ but unable to create and remove projects
4. Users - has the capability to view only. Able to add metrics from the project but this additional metrics cannot be saved.
I hope Netpath has the same feature above too...
I like this idea of account limitations, and I too would love this on Netpath!
Great Idea! I'd support this feature request.
This was a hassle for me when folks looking for PerfStack projects couldn't find the ones someone else created. "Well, tell Joe to share his with you" wasn't something I enjoyed telling my bosses who actually are getting use out of the charts we have out there.
I placed the following custom query on relevant dashboards to get around the problem so now anyone looking can find all the PerfStack projects we have created.
select psp.DisplayName as [PerfStack Project Name],psp.AccountID as Creator,psp.CreateDateTime as Created,'/ui/perfstack/'+ TOSTRING(psp.ProjectID) as [_linkfor_PerfStack Project Name]FROM Orion.PerfStack.Projects psporder by psp.DisplayName
thanks for the query, works great!
+1 - thanks for this. It works great!
