In v8.5, when you add the "tree" to a page, there are no lines separating the nodes. When you start grouping, lines appear between groups. This does not occur in v8.1. Also, the ability to add a subtitle is gone and my "cryptic" custom properties are displayed to the end user. Any way around this? -Scott
Custom subtitle and no lines in v8.1:
No custom subtitle and dividing lines that appear in v8.5:

You should be able to remove the lines from your All Nodes - Tree resource view by editing \InetPub\SolarWinds\Orion\styles\Resources.css. Look for the the following line:border-bottom: 1px groove @GrooveColor;
change it to read:
border-bottom: 0px groove @GrooveColor;
I see the same thing. But it's odd, I only see the grouping if there is more than 1 grouping. However, the lines are there.
Are the lines a problem?

Agreed. It's definitely not consistent. When there is no custom grouping, there are no lines.
SamuelB: You rock! That "fixes" it. Now I'll just need to remember to keep changing it every time there is a update <grin>.
Denny:
1) What about the subtitle option? In v8.1, I could use a subtitle. Now my "cryptically named" custom properties are the only subtitle available...
2) Along the same lines, is there an easy way to change custom property names?
I've opened a bug to get the subtitle added back. Sorry about that. We ported the whole website to ASP.net, and a few little (but important) things got missed.
Cool, thanks Denny... and the second question, about renaming custom properties?
Where do you want to change names? The custom property editor? The web?
Custom property editor would be fine. I just don't see an obvious way to change the name...
What flavor of SQL are you using? You can change it in Enterprise Manager if using SQL Standard or Enterprise Edition. You could also use Custom Property Editor to create a new cp with the target name, then highlight, copy, and paste all the values in the existing cp into the new one. Then you can delete the old one, if you'd like.
