Changing Default Time Period on Events Page

Question

One of the the most used pages in my Orion web console is the Events page. (Big surprise, eh?) But I'm annoyed by the default time period of "Today". I'm constantly changing that to "Last 12 Months" and refreshing, so that I can see all of my events. I'd like to change the default, so that I can save myself those few clicks several times every day.

I did some poking around and found the following line at the top of the "Events.aspx.cs" file...

private static string defaultPeriod = "Today";

I changed "Today" to "Last 12 Months", but that didn't do it for me. I know there has got to be a value somewhere that will make this simple change. Can you tell me where it is?

Thanks.

Ron,
Here's a way to do what you want.

1. Bring up the Events page and specify the time period within the URL. It should look something like this:

http://localhost/Orion/NetPerfMon/Events.aspx?Period=Last+12+Months

2. Remove the "Events" link on your Menubar and replace it with a custom Events link that goes to the above referenced URL.

Hope this helps and sorry about the delay.

Flame on...
