Creating a Custom Property
SolarWinds NPM provides the Custom Property Editor that allows you to choose from
a provided collection of many commonly used properties, or you can easily and
efficiently build your own custom properties. Once your custom property is defined,
the Import Wizard allows you to populate your new property from either a text- or
comma-delimited file. For more information, see "Importing Custom Property Data"
