Modern Dashboard Custom Property Filtering.

You are on the right track, but the Filter data on modern dashboards using global filters (solarwinds.com) page doesn't mention Custom Properties and the equal operator.

What happens if you try the like operator instead? [?filters=0_Orion.NodesCustomProperties_GROUPTAG:like:OSICorp]

This may be a current limitation of modern dashboards.  You didn't mention the platform version you are running.

I am running 2023.4.2. Thanks for helping out. That filter didn't change anything. 

For some reason, I don't think Custom Properties are yet supported in Modern Dashboard filtering.

I feel like this is in dire need of a Feature Requests  submission.  I'd vote it up.

Howabout if you try this? Adding single-quotes around the text and an escape character to escape it in hopes it treats it like a string. This might not be necessary, maybe it's the query as noted below.

?filters=0_Orion.NodesCustomProperties_GROUPTAG:eq:''OSICorp''

The documentation has an example of using it with custom properties. See https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-fusion-dashboard-global-filters.htm#link6 

From my personal testing of this capability... my 2 cents, this functionality could be incredibly useful (enabling dynamic dashboards / reports, re-usable dashboards etc). I doubt many folks are using it. It can't leverage custom properties with underscores in them due to the underscore being used as a special character in the syntax.

It also appeared to matter the specific nature in which the SWQL query was created. For example if you use this SWQL query -- per the documentation this is exactly what the web UI is doing when attempting this. Notice how it's selecting the "Orion.NodesCustomProperties" in the FROM.

SELECT
     n.Node.Caption
    ,n.Node.IP_Address
FROM Orion.NodesCustomProperties AS n
WITH FILTER ON Orion.NodesCustomProperties WHERE GROUPTAG = 'this' AND InstanceSiteId = 0

If you switch that around to use Orion.Nodes (which is likely what the query is looking at in your widget), it will likely not work.

SELECT
     n.Caption
    ,n.IP_Address
FROM Orion.Nodes AS n
WITH FILTER ON Orion.NodesCustomProperties WHERE GROUPTAG = 'this' AND InstanceSiteId = 0

The point being is that it matters what query you're using inside your OSI Corp Servers widget.

Anywho I hope this information helps, since you're in a good spot with a custom property that could actually be used with this, just need to adjust your URI syntax maybe and perhaps the SWQL query used in the widget.

Yes, I tried quotes before. It changes the syntax to this.

?filters=0_Orion.NodesCustomProperties_GROUPTAG:eq:%27%27OSICorp%27%27

The results are not filtered. Here is the SWQL query for the OSI CORP Servers table.

SELECT TOP 10 n.Caption
      ,n.CPULoad,n.PercentMemoryUsed
      ,n.DetailsUrl
      ,n.Status 
FROM Orion.Nodes n

Crazy experiment - what happens if you change the query to start on the Orion.NodesCustomProperties entity?

SELECT TOP 10 [NCP].Node.Caption
      ,[NCP].Node.CPULoad
      ,[NCP].Node.PercentMemoryUsed
      ,[NCP].Node.DetailsUrl
      ,[NCP].Node.Status 
FROM Orion.NodesCustomProperties AS [NCP]

It worked! I was able to filer with the original URI filter. I had to create a new widget with just the SWQL query but I got it. Thank you very much.

I like this, opens up some cool possibilities for dynamic dashboard generation as long as we can always tie the widgets we display to a common entity type.
