SWQL views?

No, there is not. You will need to maintain the SWQL query on the client end.

Thanks. 

I will have to rework my query anyway, because after looking I noticed that Serial Number is not in the Node tables, so I have to pull it from the NCM entity tables (only place I found it) as well.

Any plans to include a custom View to SWQL studio so we could build queries across multiple products?

Any advice on pulling SWQL data from multiple tables, trying to figure out what to key off of to consolidate data, is appreciated as I am 3 weeks into my first SW deployment. 

We have no current plans for allowing users to define custom views in SWQL. It's an interesting idea though.

If you are new to SolarWinds and SWQL, you may not yet be familiar with navigation properties. They are syntactic sugar for JOINs. So you can get to that serial number from nodes like this:

SELECT N.NodeID, N.DisplayName, N.NodeProperties.EntityPhysical.Serial

FROM Orion.Nodes N

thanks, yes, brand new to Solarwinds and SWQL.  Watched the lab you put together on coding CURL, PS, REST, JSON, etc,  Very helpful.

I saw you did that trick, but didn't understand how it worked.  I think I got it figured out, just need to validate w/ Network and SNow teams to see if they will accept the output.

Here is the initial query, in case you're interested.  Not sure if last filter SWRev is the one I will stick with.

SELECT n.NodeID, n.IPAddress, n.Caption, n.NodeDescription, n.Description, n.Vendor, n.Contact, n.IOSImage, n.IOSVersion, n.LastBoot, n.MachineType, n.NodeName, n.CustomProperties.ZL_Location, n.CustomProperties.ZL_Region, n.NodeProperties.EntityPhysical.Serial, n.NodeProperties.EntityPhysical.EntityName, n.NodeProperties.EntityPhysical.EntityDescription

FROM Orion.Nodes n WHERE n.NodeProperties.EntityPhysical.Serial <> '' AND n.NodeProperties.EntityPhysical.SoftwareRevision <> ''
