Good afternoon,
I'll preface this with the fact that I'm pretty new to SolarWinds as a whole. So far, I've been able to manage alerts (make new ones, update old ones etc.) and work with custom properties pretty alright.
Here's the version banner from the bottom of the page:
Orion Platform 2015.1.2, SAM 6.2.1, DPA 9.2.0, QoE 2.0, NPM 11.5.2, IVIM 2.1.0
This week, I've been struggling with setting up a decent NOC view. As we have NPM and SAM, I was hoping to get one view setup to monitor some top metrics from both systems. Our NPM lives on one server (call it server A) and SAM on another (call it server B).
Working within SAM, I've setup a NOC View. On there, adding the columns from the available SAM selections is a piece of cake. I feel that I have a good grasp on getting SAM information presented.
The difficulty I am having is getting information from NPM now. The only way I've have limited success is by taking the page source from the Top 10 view in NPM, and pasting that into a "Custom HTML" resource on the NOC View. This kind of works - the page does load, but then the entire NOC view is filled with "There was an error while rendering resource with id <id>", where <id> is variable.
Poking around at it, I got the page basically back to where the SAM information is not throwing that rendering error. The NPM "Custom HTML" resource still is.
I'm at the point where I'm pretty convinced that there must be a better/easier way to tackle this problem. I looked around on google and a couple of threads on thwack, but nothing has been very helpful. In fact, a KB from SolarWinds says to use Custom HTML for this exact purpose... though their example does not even work.
So, instead of kicking myself over and over again, I thought I'd step back and ask the smart folks here for some assistance. I hope I included enough information here, but if not, let me know and I'll clarify or provide any that is needed. Thank you!
Edit: Just to summarize - I am attempting to get the Top 10 view from NPM to display in a NOC view created in SAM. If I try iframe, I get an error ("this content cannot be displayed in a frame"). If I pull the ASPX and dump it in the Custom HTML, it causes issues, likely due to CSS/JS references (if I had to venture a guess, anyway).
