New Custom HTML & Orion 8

Is anyone doing anything cool with the new custom HTML option in Orion 8? I just added the internet traffic report with the code below.

<A HREF="http://www.InternetTrafficReport.com/">

of data around the world. It then displays a value between 
zero and 100. Higher values indicate faster and more reliable
connections." SRC="http://www.InternetTrafficReport.com/sc.gif"

I'd love to know if anyone has added any other useful widgets to Orion using the new Custom HTML option in v8.

Note: This is for the simple addition of custom code using the Custom HTML portal widget in Orion v8. This is not another thread about modifying Orion ASP code.

Ok I'll reply to my own post. Here's another fun one you can easily add to Orion to show the Internet Storm Center Infocon Status

The code below..

Nice, I like it.

I'm working on a piece to download switch/router configurations to a tftp server as well as save the runnining configuration to the startup configuration.

The switches that'll be supported at this point are:

Dell PowerConnect 3324
Dell PowerConnect 3348
Dell PowerConnect 3424
Dell PowerConnect 3448
Dell PowerConnect 6024
Dell PowerConnect 6024F

Cisco series switches that run IOS as well as Cisco routers.

Mithrilhall, I'd very interested in checking this out when you are finished. That is if you are willing to share.

Anyway here's another simple one to add that displays the current internet threat level from ISS.Net

This one is a little large, but since it's flash it can be shrunk to fit just about any reasonable size.

CertStation is a consolidated threat aggregator as seen here

As soon at I'm finished I'll post the code.

GOOD STUFF, aLTeReGo!!! Thanks for the posts!

Mithrilhall, can't wait to see how this works too!

It would be cool if the Solarwinds Team came up with some cool custom HTML to add in too.

O' I get what you are saying, and it wouldn't have to be something formal, just an idea starter type section.  Thanks for your response.

We have an additional web server that has internet connectivity and the rest of our infrastructure is on a closed network with no internet connectivity. So custom HTML that accesses the web can be used on one web server but times out on the internal. Is there anyway to have views associated with a specific web server?

 I was thinking of using javascript to do something like this however I'm not the best at javascript. This is just sudo code as an example.

 if window.location = 'external web server'

( insert HTML to access data from internet)

else (display logo)

I've been looking for a 'new' HTML option now that I've finally upgraded to V8.1, but have been unable to find anything new.
I've been using the 'Raw HTML' option to display multiple graphs on one page since Orion V6 </scratches head>.
