How to use LOG parser parameter IN a dashboard CHART

[civieroc]

Hi, I know how to do a log parser and catch the first or other parameters in the event message, but I need to know how use the parameter (%1) of the log parser in a chart in a dashboard.

First: is possible? and how?

Thankyou!!!

Hi,

it's possible, but way is long

To be able to use value in charts, you have to create DCI. You receive events from log parser, and have to convert them into data in DCI. Easiest way is to create push DCI and script action, which will use PushDCIData function to push new value extracted from event. Then you can add this DCI to chart as usual.

Hi Victor! Thanks a lot for the reply!

I tryed with your method, I did all but at the last I discovered a problem! the PushDCIData is Since: 2.0-M1 and I have the 1.17 version!!

There is a older(similar) PushDCIData function that I can use in the 1.17 version?

I will change to the 2.0, but not in these days...

I solved updating situations in the action and creating a DCI with read it and do trasformation script, but the PushDCIData is very util for a lot of application, It help me in the 1.17 version...

For the future...in the past I updated my system from the 1.16 to the 1.17 version and it was very easy, from the 1.17 to 2.0 is similar or more difficult? the operations to do are the same?

Thanks,
Claudio.

Hi,

I really recommend you to upgrade to 2.0. RC1 is quite stable, and we will roll out RC2 soon which should be even better. Upgrade procedure is the same as from 1.2.16 to 1.2.17, and you can upgrade directly to 2.0-RC1 or higher.

Best regards,
Victor

I will do the upgrade in few days.
