How to add a menu item to the menu that appears when you right click?

The following procedure provides the steps required to add any external scripts or applications to the SolarWinds Toolset integration menu.

To add a program to the SolarWinds Toolset Integration menu:

If you want to add an external script to the Toolset Integration menu, save the script in an appropriate location on the install volume of your Orion server (e.g.<InstallVolume>:\\Scripts\).
If you want to add an external application to the Toolset Integration menu, install the application in an appropriate location on the install volume of your Orion server (e.g.<InstallVolume>:\\Application\).
Open SWToolset.MenuOptions in a text editor.
Note: By default, SWToolset.MenuOptions is located in the following folder:<InstallVolume>:\\<LocalApplicationData>\SolarWinds\Common\, where<LocalApplicationData> for the current Windows user is<ProfileFolder>\LocalSettings\Application Data.
Save a copy of SWToolset.MenuOptions as SWToolset_Old.MenuOptions.
Add the following line between the <MenuOptions></MenuOptions> tags of theSWToolset.MenuOptions file:
<MenuOption Visible="TRUE" Title="ApplicationName" BeginGroup="FALSE" HasSubMenu="FALSE" ExecString="<InstallVolume>:\\Application\ExecutableFile" Icon="" Extra="" Parent="" Required="4"/>
Note: The string supplied for Title is the name for the added script or application that will display in the menu. The string supplied for the ExecString is the path to the script or application executable file.
Save the new SWToolset.MenuOptions to automatically update the Toolset Integration menu.
