Custom SWQL Query for Temperature

Or you could look at something like this:

Unfortunately it's not been tested with latest version.. not going to risk it.
Also when an update hits, this would get overwritten.

Unless is adopted by SW i don't use it, as been there in the past.

But thanks

No worries - For the record, I'm using it on the latest version and it's still working. But yes it is an un-supported change that I have to replace if/when we rebuild or upgrade so I appreciate your point.

Not trying to convince you one way or the other... but I do think it's worth noting that is an old thread and not really necessary to go to that length I don't believe. There's fully supported methods to do what's mentioned in that thread.

I'm not sure when SolarWinds implemented the ability to "Allow HTML Tags" in columns of reports / custom tables but it's there now in the latest versions.

A simple example...

Go to your view, add the "Custom Table" widget, edit it and select a SWQL datasource (could be done in SQL as well).

Here's an example SWQL query to use:

SELECT
      CONCAT('<a href="https://localhost"', n.DetailsUrl, '>', n.Caption, '</a>') AS [Node]
     ,n.IP_Address
    ,CASE WHEN n.ResponseTime < 5 THEN CONCAT('<p style="color:blue">', TOSTRING(n.ResponseTime), '</p')
        ELSE CONCAT('<p style="color:red;font-weight:bold">', TOSTRING(n.ResponseTime), '</p') 
     END AS [Latency]
FROM Orion.Nodes AS n

Add the columns in and make sure you "Allow HTML Tags" on the columns that have them.

End result:

So in the end... multiple ways to skin that cat as they say lol.
