<![CDATA[Displaying timestamp of DCI in dashboard]]>Hello,

I'm monitoring backups with a Push DCI through snmp traps. So the snmp trap fires an action script runs that pushes the result to the DCI.
Now I would like to visualize this by displaying the timestamp of the dci + result, but don't really know where should I start with this.
Currently I have a DCI that has the name of the backup job and stores the result.

What I would like to achieve is something like this:

BackupJobName | Last Backup Result datetime | Last Backup Result

Any guidance where and how to start is much appreciated.

It's a bug in console that it does not work. It is fixed and will be in next patch release.

Is it possible to somehow display the date/time on dashboard when stored as uint? Tried to play around with formatting string %tY for example, but all i get is invalid format.

Displaying on dashboard is easier, if you have a DCI with the same name present on several nodes - in that case you can create a DCI Summary Table and use it in a Dashboard, specifying a container, where the needed nodes are located.
If all DCIs are on a single node, then it would be necessary to create a gauge for each DCI manually. Or it could be possible to create a table DCI on that node and populate data into it by script, but it would require quite complicated scripting.
