custom html issue with V9

hoeflchr Jul 7, 2008 8:27 AM

I am trying to write a custom view that can be sent in a report of cpu load on several servers. In the past I could insert the following html code for each graph that I wanted to show and then schedule that view to be email with report scheduler.

Now all I am getting is a red "X". Anyone else have this same issue?

Thanks in advance,

Christian

  I've noticed this same issue with v9. All of my custom pages from 8.5.1 migrated over just fine, but I am not able to create any new pages with the old method. I just spent some time on the phon with Solarwinds support and they were able to find a workaround using an iframe tag that contained the graph I wanted to add.
  <iframe
  src ="/default.asp"
  width="100%">
  </iframe>
  
  I'm going to play around with this code for awhile and see if I can get it to work.
  
  As a side note, my old code still works, I just have to change the Object references. I just can't get the old code the same way I used to.

    I tried using the the iframe tag as well. The downside of this, is if you email this page as part of a scheduled report and are running Office 2007, Outlook does not support iframes.
    
    I have been working with Solarwinds of this for a couple of days now.

      Could you please let me know what you come up with? I'm very interested to know how to get this working again.

In Orion 8.5.1 you were able to use the chart.asp to return an image using a format similar to the above. In 9.0, the ability to do this was broken.
We are currently working to restore this feature and it will be available in a future service pack.

  Thanks Casey for the reply. Can we expect this with SP1 or later?

    Unfortunately, I don't think it will be done in time for SP1. I also don't have a specific timeframe for the next SP. We are actively working on it though.
