<![CDATA[Table from ExternalCommand]]>Hi,

I've been testing ExternalLists to do Instance Discovery to grab data for items with a lot of instances.
While this works and allows for alerting, it is extremely... untidy... in the Last Values tab.
For example I am monitoring about a dozen different items over 74 instances, which leaves quite a mess in the interface.
A table would work wonders here. I would have no problem passing the relevant data in CSV format either.

But for all I can tell, this is currently not possible?

Thanks

Yes, an ExternalTable like an ExternalParameter.
For example such a command could return multiple rows of comma separated values. First row defines the "Column Names" which could then be referenced in the DCI table.
Such a command will likely take longer to run than a "standard" one (e.g. getting data from WMI or PowerShell). So not sure how that would work with the standard command timeout.

Cheers

you mean to define external table? Currently it's not possible, but can be implemented.

Best regards,
Victor
