I am trying to customize my dashboard to include a widget that will show me nodes that have cpu > 50, display the node name and the cpu load with little graph, similar to the Top 10 widgets. Do I use a custom SQL Query to accomplish this? Help
This is the difference between the "Top 10 Nodes by Average CPU Load" resource and the "Top XX Nodes by Average CPU Load" resource. The 'Top XX' resource has an "Edit" button, where the 'Top 10' does not.
I think you already have the function created in your NPM, but that you aren't yet aware of it. It's a report called "Top XX Nodes by Average CPU Load", and you can add it into your main view anywhere you want.
I created an entire new view called "Current Top 10 Lists", and in it I included many interesting reports:
Once that was built, I went to Admin > Customize > Edit Admin Menu Bar.
Then I went to the bottom of the left column and clicked "Add".
After that I created a Name for the new view (Top Ten), I inserted the URL to get to that page, and put in a description. I also added the option to Open in a New Window.
Then I dragged that new view to my Admin Menu Bar in the right column and positioned it where I wanted.
Tell it OK and then go to your admin page and click on the Top 10. Voila! LOTS of useful information!
Thank you kindly for the response, I am looking to create my own. I want to to show top 5 not top 10, and possibly many other iterations of the same data. How do I create my own widget similar to the top10?
It's easy to modify an existing report, like the Top 10 I showed above, to reflect the top 5, top 8, top 572--whatever you want.
Open the view with the report in it, then click Edit in the top right of the specific window's report you want to adjust.
Then change it from 10 to whatever number you want, and click Submit.
I want these to live on the Summary screen. For some reason there is no Edit button when I add these widgets, but there is in the Top 10 menu item!??! So how do I edit these graphs?
Please let me know! And THANK YOU for taking the time to respond.
Hi rschroeder
Any idea how we can use the Filter node option? I want to use 2 different properties here. One for Machine type as Windows and other is Volume type as Fixed.
When I am trying to use both, it gives an error.
I have created a report to show me the Top 10 Interfaces by percent utilization and filtered by site. How do I get this as a widget to put on my Site Summary page??
Any report can be made a resource by utilizing the Custom Table Resource.
