network atlas link color online modification

mraky over 11 years ago

Hi,

i started this discussion to be able reach my target - online change color of link in network atlas. I want to reflect ip sla measurement , and link utilisation in link color + link description

as solarwinds doesnt offer it, and feature request will take ages i will try to do it on my own. It would be amaizing, if somebody from solarwinds inside can support me.

my idea:

i will create external script in perl, which will be trigered by advanced alarm monitoring in solarind.

script will access database and set link color, or link label description.

set_link.pl "<link id>" "color id" "link description"

script have to get everytime 3 parameters. If color or link description is empty, it will not be changed.

first i have to get some infor about solarwind network atlas internals.. .what is necessary to figure out ( and i dont know so far - i will be updating this message)

1)- howto find via sql specific link/what is database structure of network atlas regarding this links...

2)- howto get via sql color/label of link

3)- howto set via sql color of link

4) - howto change/add link label via sql

i hope it is stored in sql didnot check so far ..... if somebody knows answer for this 4 points i would be happy - of course i will share result...

br,

The link information in terms of what is assigned to a link is stored in the SQL database under MapStudioFiles. However, the control of colors is in the Network Atlas code, not in the SQL database. There isn't a way to change how the links operate through SQL. That is not stored in the database. Unfortunately a feature request is going to be the route to take here. I would recommend setting up a poll on a thwack feature request, as the more people vote it up, the more likely it may show up in a future release.

Here is the link for this feature request:
http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1317
There is also a related request which would allow components of the web interface to be updated independently, rather than refreshing the entire page:
http://thwack.solarwinds.com/ideas/1501
This would mean that the Network Atlas link colour would change as it is being detected, rather than waiting for the next screen refresh. I have upvoted both of these requests (which, interestingly are both at 52 votes right now!), and would encourage everyone to do the same.
