Dashboard display of DCI information

[curruscanis]

I am attempting to display the status of a DCI poll that I have created for a windows agent process object.  I would like to display a simple Green / Red Dot for good / bad status if the process is running or not. 

The closest I have gotten is to use a gauge - pie graph as only chart objects seem to display DCI values on the dashboards.  This does provide me a green dot if I customize the color and my process count is a value greater than zero.  However if it is zero it is just "blank" no value.

Is there a way to display a DCI value as a good / bad color indicator on a dashboard that I am missing?

I have done this....its a bit of work to get started.
To begin with I created 4 x 1 colour 24x24 pixel png's. Black, green, yellow, and red.  I uploaded them to my image library.  Next I create a Network map->custom, with a black background color, but for now just leave it white and turn off "auto arrange".  You can now add "dci images" that map to your data source, with a default image of the black png, and place it where you want it.  You now setup "rules" on the "dci image" so different thresholds show a different colour image. 

I usually go back after placing everything and turn the background black, but you can put a geo map or other image as your background.  My original goal was to make a LCARS display but real work took over and I just made a grid status display for a small number of systems/process indicators.  I also did a similar indicator setup on a picture of a switch with the indicators on the actual port lights to indicate status. 

NetXMS has proved to be too good of a tool and we expanded to far too many devices to make this manual way worth it ( I ended up with a LOT of network maps that people just weren't using).  Now if I could dynamically feed a DCI summary table into a custom network map template that would be awsome.

Have Fun!
