I just upgraded to Orion 9.1 on my production server and I'm noticing in my All Nodes Ajax tree that if there's a node configured as "unmanaged", the root status shows "unknown" gray. Is this a bug or should I open support ticket?
It's a bug. We'll get it fixed. Unmanaged should be ignored on rollup.

Another bug has popped up in this version of the all nodes tree. If the node list is being grouped by 3 custom properties and one of them is "Null" then the resource is putting the node in an "Unknown" group. Previously, the resource would ignore the "Null" value and just drop the node in the group above instead of an "Unknown" group. This is similar to the problem from an earlier version of Orion that is discussed in this post: http://thwack.com/forums/p/6843/28908.aspx.

Thanks. That bug will be fixed in SP1.
I've seen people advocating for both behaviors (nulls go in the Unknown group and nulls go "loose"), so I think I'll just make it configurable by clicking Edit on the resource.

Thanks Tim! That definitely works for me and benefits everyone!

Bryan, could you post a screenshot of what you mean?
Here you go.
I see. SP1 should be out in a few days. You should try that and see if you can get the behavior you want.
BryanBecker:Before I went to open a support ticket I search the forum and came over this post. I think what I'm see started in 9.1...not 9.0. I have my all nodes tree ajax group on custom property levels. When I drill down the list the 1st custom property (city) works. The next 2 custom properties are listed as "unknown". Is that going to be fixed in SP1?BB
Bryan, I think this is the same problem that I mentioned above that should be fixed if they put the option in SP1 that they mentioned above.
