<![CDATA[Widget to display values from DCI in Dashboard]]>Hi All,

Thanks to help from Victor, we have a dashboard that shows the status of our Helpdesk calls by reading the contents of a SQL query and reading them as DCIs. These DCIs are then displayed as dial charts which works well.

However, I would also like to be able to display these values as values in a Dashboard. Without using a graph or dial, I can't see a way of just displaying a DCI in a dashboard. Has anyone got any neat workarounds for this? Ideally, I would like a widget that can display a DCI as an LED 7 segment style number so I can display values such as total calls logged on the Helpdesk which won't work as a Dial Chart - we just want a number displayed.

A very minor request as we can cope without it but it would be nice to have a page on our dashboard slideshow that shows open calls, unassigned calls, total calls etc as large, easy to read numbers.

Many thanks,

It will look much nicer than my basic HTML page!

There will be some changes regarding this in 1.2.9. I change dial chart widget to more generic "gauge" widget, which can operate in three modes: dial chart, bar chart (like liquid thermometer), and digital display. It is now possible to set custom font for it, so it can look as on attached screenshot.

Best regards,
Victor

I have the figures as values in DCIs - I would just like to have something similar but prettier and using NetXMS rather than pointing the Dashboard at a Webpage. I'm sure I could fine other uses for displaying DCI values in a Dashboard as well.
