I have had no luck trying to filter a resource when making a Chart Based report. I thought I could filter using a Node Custom Property.
My report is on Disk Volumes though....No matter what I enter in the filter area it comes back as a bad query: d01_Customer Like 'dcf*'
Does the filter have to be on the Volumes Properties?
I am trying to get a report such as this but for one customer only....if I run it with no filters I get every customer
I'm guessing you have tried just (d01_Customer Like 'dcf*')
I have this one working on a page resource.
Wonder if it works the same way
If that fails try...
(Nodes.d01_Customer Like '*dcf*')
Also try (d01_Customer Like '*dcf*')
with the *before and after.
Just ran a very basic report on report writer and added show SQL to get back the format in which report writer users...
I can see it auto puts % before and after. % and * are the same thing to solarwinds
Well I've just found out why. I feel stupid...
If you expand List of Nodes. It says...
Properties that can be used for filtering Nodes are :
I'm guessing You are not able to use the same completely custom node properties like you can with other types of reporting, which is a shame.
Maybe start using something discrete like Description to filter customers out.
I do know an effective work around though if you're interested. Like me know and I can explain how 
Cool, its fairly simple, just didn't have enough time to explain yesterday, was leaving work.
Right...
First of all create a new Solarwinds account and limit the account down using d01_Customer customer property filed
Then select d01_Customer from here...
To be honest i'm sure i'm covering bits you know how to do.
Once the accounts limited to the individual Customer using the correct limitation re run that report on the new account and it will only show the devices the account is limited too.
Can you then scheduled reports to re and be emailed out from that account. Obviously check its working and limiting as it should.
Hope this helps
