<![CDATA[DCI value format string]]>Hello,

I am trying to wrap my head around changing a format string for bandwidth into a something like "Out: 200 Kbps" for links on network maps. How can I configure this?

Thank you,
Austin

Now it is better to collect value as is and use formatters to display in K/M/G.

Further digging reveals this:

https://track.radensolutions.com/issue/NX-501

where Victor K advises to use format string %*d and it works as expected - values collected as "... traffic (bits) Delta value" are displayed as k/m/g as appropriate

Now that I get data showing "201136 bits/s" how can I turn that into "201 Kbps"? Is that still done with Format String Syntax?

You have to define it like "Out: %s Kbps". %s will be replaced by DCI value. You can use any format specifiers allowed for Java's String.format (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax).

Best regards,
Victor
