How do I add F5 Temperature data to a custom graph?

Question

Hi folks, I'm trying to create a graph to monitor temperatures in our data center and was trying to pull data from our F5 devices. 
 We have some F5 BIG-IP i2800 devices and I can see the nodes have temperature sensors and readouts already in the mode details like such: 
 
 I can even pull up a graph for one device by clicking on Temperature Sensor 1, but I want to combine graphs from multiple F5 devices. I've been trying to create a custom chart and insert the html as an iframe, but it takes the whole page. Is there any other way to do that? 
 Thanks!

Hi there, 
 I don't have any F5 devices in my test platform but I tried it with Cisco and it seems to work. 
 First create a 'Custom Chart' widget: 
 
 Then use the following SWQL as a datasource (Update 'Cisco' to any vendor you want): 
 SELECT Name as [Sensor], hi.HardwareItemStatistics.AvgValue as {Value}, hi.HardwareItemStatistics.ObservationTimestamp as [TimeStamp]
FROM Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItem hi
where uniquename like '%Temp%'
and nodeid in (select nodeid from orion.nodes where vendor like '%Cisco%') 
 Then, set-up the rest of the chart like this (The 'Data Series' 'Time Column', and 'Data Grouping' has all be updated):

And you'll get something like this: 
 
 Everything else can be edited to your own preference. 
 If this helps answer your question please mark my answer as confirmed to help other users, thank you!
