Easily adding double and triple gauges for Universal Device Pollers

Technorati Tags: SolarWinds,Orion,Orion NPM,Universal Device Poller,SolarWinds Orion NPM

I ran across another cool post that a member of the thwack community put together that I wanted to share with everyone. lasher put together some new resources for Orion NPM v9.5.1 which allow you to create double and triple gauges within a resource for Universal Device Pollers. If you wanted to accomplish this today, you would need to use a custom html resource, so this makes life much quicker and easier.

So I can hear you saying, ok you had me at double and triple gauges, how do I get this?

First, you can download this resource here

To install:

Copy CustomOIDEditGaugeDoubleTriple.aspx and CustomOIDEditGaugeDoubleTriple.aspx.cs to InetPub\SolarWinds\Orion\NetPerfMon\Resources folder.
Copy CustomPollerRadialGaugeDoubleTriple.ascx and CustomPollerRadialGaugeDoubleTriple.ascx.cs to InetPub\SolarWinds\Orion\NetPerfMon\Resources\NodeGauges folder.
Copy CustomOIDEditLinearGaugeDoubleTriple.aspx and CustomOIDEditLinearGaugeDoubleTriple.aspx.cs to InetPub\SolarWinds\Orion\NetPerfMon\Resources folder.
Copy CustomPollerLinearGaugeDoubleTriple.ascx and CustomPollerLinearGaugeDoubleTriple.ascx.cs to InetPub\SolarWinds\Orion\NetPerfMon\Resources\NodeGauges folder.

As lasher states, there are 4 known issues with it.

Auto-Scale not working and has been disabled.
Auto-Hide Resource not working correctly and has been disabled.
Must set Warning & Error Threshold or Gauges will display red.
Gauge labels do not set correctly when first added to page. (Workaround is to edit the gauge and click submit. Labels will show up correctly after that.)

Just want to add that I did fix 2 of the issues. The Warning and Error Threshold will not cause the gauge to display red if left blank any more. I did also fix the issue with labels not setting correctly when gauges are first added.

bshopp thanks for blogging this.
