How to graph only a single temperature sensor?

cyr0nk0r

This is super frustrating. I want to graph a single temperature sensor but there doesn't seem to be any real way to do this. I've tried custom charts, I've tried filters. nothing works. What am I doing wrong?

As you can see from the built in chart below, I have a somewhat pretty graph of 4 different temperature sensors. But all I want on this graph is the last one "System Board 1 Inlet Temp" There is no way to not display the other sensors.

I've also tried a custom chart using a SQL query. But it looks like crap, and also doesn't display the temperature in fahrenheit. How do I get the first graph to only display a single sensor? Or is there some better way to do this?

I'd love to use a perfstack analysys project, but it doesnt allow you to transform the data from celsius to fahrenheit either.

Alright, because hardly anyone ever does this, I will say how I solved this for anyone needing to do this exact same thing in the future.

Based on the other reply I indeed created a Universal Device Poller. I then did a transform to convert it to Fahrenheit. Once I did that I can now use it as a perfstack project and get a nice looking graph. See screenshots below.

The OID I used was using the Dell PERC card since I couldn't find the OID inside vmware. If you have a different brand of server you'll need to adjust the OID you use.

The only way I can think to achieve this would be via a UnDP and a custom chart widget.

So create the UnDP for the sensor OID, and presuming that the OID presents all the sensors in a table, you then need to select the specific one you want to display. You could also, at this point create a transform for the temp readings.

I've not tried this, but it's the only way I can think f.

Glad my vague pointers helped in getting you where you needed to be.

Nice work.
