Trouble with charting UDP transforms

I'm trying to add a thermometer to one of our dashboards that shows total amps drawn by a pdu. In order to get the total, I have UDPs that get the amps per leg, and then a transform poller that adds it all up into the grand total. The problem I run into is that that the chart will allow me to select the actual pollers (only one of them, naturally), but does not have the transforms in the list. Does anyone know how to make this work. In a worst case scenario, I could use the method I used on the pdu's node page, where I used radial dials, and was able to set the poller id to the one for the transform, but would rather not do that for aesthetic reasons.

Thanks for the help.

Which Resource did you select to add to the View? I am having no trouble with plotting Transform pollers using 'Universal Device Poller Chart', 'Universal Device Poller Custom Chart' or 'Mulitple Universal Device Pollers Chart'

I'm putting this on a summary page, so I can't use the UDP - Linear Gauge directly. As such, I'm using it via a custom object resource. Done that way, the transforms don't show in the select poller list.

I am a little confused. You say charts and also talk about "thermometer" / gauges.

If you are after a cart - on a Summary view, you could use 'Multiple Universal Device Pollers Chart' resource. It works for Transform pollers as well.

If you are after linear and radial guages, it looks like it doesn't let you pick any GET TABLE pollers (or Transforms based on it) which makes sense.

So yes, I'm looking for the linear gauge. The transform poller I created is a sum of the table with a single value output, so it should be usable in a linear gauge, but is not. That's what I'm trying to fix.
