I am new to using Solarwinds NPM, and these forums, so this might might be in the wrong place. I did do some research but did not find a definitive answer so I thought I would try here.
We are hoping to use groups in NPM as a container for nodes. For example we have 700+ sites that all have 3 or 4 switches at each site. We would like to make each site its own group, so when a user selects a group they see all the nodes (switches in this case) assigned to that site. We would like to use custom attributes for each of the groups for meta data like physical address, contact name, etc. This would mean there would be 700+ groups with custom attributes.
The trouble is I can not find a way to search for a group name once they are created. We can search for a node, but I could not find a way to get back to the group page (that lists all the other nodes for that site) from the node screen. Is there a custom search I can create to to search only for group names (Preferred)? Or maybe a way to get back to the a nodes group from the node screen? Am I missing a step?
Thank you in advance,
-Matt
