Manage SolarWinds Platform site custom properties in EOC
By default, every object monitored by the SolarWinds Platform includes a list of properties used to describe entities, for example a device's IP address or host name. In addition to the default properties, you can also add custom properties based on user-defined fields, for example country, device serial number, or tags. These custom properties are useful to include in alerts, reports, views, and groups as they can provide additional information not supplied by the default properties.
EOC is not just a web-server rolling up data from remote sites. You can also create and manage custom properties for SolarWinds Platform sites from a centralized location.
