Hi Solarwinds adepts,
From release NPM 11.5 there is a possibility to create your own NodeDetails screen.
This can be achieved via (a sort) of UserDevicePoller, where you can add an snmp iod to get your information from a node.
This is a great improvement, but I think it would work just nicer, if there was a way to fill custom property fields with UDP polled data.
For instance, we would like to store the nodes serial number, that can be picked-up via snmpget, in a custom property field.
If there is a way to add your own fields to the Polled NodeDetails screen, the same effect could be achieved.
At this moment, we are using the (hardly used) nodes contact field to store the nodes serial number.:
When users can define their own (dynamical) field(s) in Node Details, that will also make it easier to define a rest-api, to extract this information from the SWIS !
If you like this idea, please vote for it!
Thanks!
