Multiple Node details for a single node

Hi,

It is possible from the NPM web console to swap or link to a different node details screen?

I would like to give users the ability to drill down into a node using the standard node details web page and then have the option to view node details using a custom node details web form.

I understand that I can use device type view but would like to maintain a standard node details form and then be able to move to another form that gives specific information on that particular device type

Thank you in advance

I have been looking into this and here is what I found.

Create the 2 views you want. The standard and custom views, then assign the standard view to the Node Detail view.

You will need to review the Database to determine the ID number for your custom view.

Open the standard view for your system (look at the url):http://.../Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N:139

You can then change the url to the following:(viewid=34& was added. 34 is the ID number of my custom view):http://.../Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?viewid=34&netobject=N:139 This tells orion to open the custom view for the node specified.

You will now see the custom page.

To make life simple, you can add a view on your standard page, so you can add a link to the new custom URL.

Excellent! Thank you.

The only slight issue is whether I can pass the nodeid in the URL

have tried

http://solarwinds/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?viewid=84&NetObject=N:${ComponentId}

without sucess. Error message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" is given. The Link is defined as a user link on the custom web page. Works ok if I replace $ComponetId with an actual node number N:1270

Also, for info - The viewid can be seen on the preview page when customising the view, saves digging into the database!
