Please see attached PDF for an example of what I am referring to.
When using Map Tooltips, when you hover over a node, you always get the same information regardless of the context of the map that the tooltips are being used for. This really limits the possibilities of using Map Tooltips in a large Solarwinds environment.
An example. You hover over a router node on your circuits page and you'll see circuit information such as Circuit ID, Local LATA, Dial-in Modem #, SmartNet Account number, etc. The node is part of a circuit map so hovering over a router gives you pertinent information about the circuit.
Now when you move over to a map that shows servers in racks, when you hover over the Exchange Server node, ideally you would want to see information such as Serial Number, License Key, make and model of server, RAM etc. But what shows up is circuit stuff. (please see attached PDF as an example).
What would be awesome is if we could associate specific property variables (either custom properties or NCM properties) TO THE MAP ID or MAP NAME. Then when you hover over a node on MAP "A", you will see A,B,C properties that you want to see.. and when you hover over a node on MAP "B", you will see X,Y,Z properties.
This would really help those in our support center. Those dealing with circuits, WAN, LAN stuff see information that is relevent to them. Those dealing with servers, IP cameras, and peripherals such as printers and appliances would see information specific to the map they are on.
Thanks,
Hope my explanation is clear.
