Custom Properties on External Nodes?

byrona over 10 years ago

I am curious why I don't see Custom Properties showing up on External Nodes? As best as I can tell the view is configured to have this information displayed; however, it isn't there.

Byron,
This is a known FR. There probably is a good technical reason why it was not implemented originally, but we certainly should be able to accommodate this.
Regards,
Rob

I know this thread is almost a year old, but has this been addressed yet? We noticed that our Off Network devices (External) are are not displaying the Custom Properties that are assigned to them. I was asked to find out what is worng with the server. So I am asking via the most recent related thread that I could find.

This has been an issue for a very long time. Can this be given some priority please?

I just verified that this is still an issue in NPM 11.5. rob.hock‌ is this a known issue?
Meanwhile, has anyone on this thread opened a ticket on it? If so please log the ticket number here so we can follow along. Also, if anyone feels like opening a feature request, we can all upvote it to get it onto the list of fixes and, as Dave said, get it some priority.

I was wondering what the problem was with this, because I've never noticed this as an issue...
As a workaround you can define a custom HTML widget with code in it like this:
Sector: ${Sector}<BR>
Building: ${Building}<BR>
AssetTag: ${AssetTag}<BR>
and it'll display the specific custom properties you want to display there (I have Sector, Building, and AssetTag as three custom properties I'm often interested in
I also have links off you our CMDB like this: <A HREF="https://cmdb/device.html?device=${Caption}" target="_blank">Lookup device(${Caption}) in CMDB</A><BR>
the target="_blank" opens the link in a new window/tab

I think it's a little absurd that this is still an issue; is there some technical reason that this can be fixed so that the custom properties show up on these nodes like they do every other node?

Looks like this is still an issue, or am I missing something?
I'm working on 2019.2 and I can't see custom properties for external nodes without having to edit the node.
Seems a little crazy...
