Beginner Questions about a user Universal Device Poller table transformation

hi,

i'm trying to do something very basic, but cant seem to find any info in the forums about it.

i've got a bunch of HP printers i've set up a UDP to get the total number of pages printed from the printer. i'm keeping historical data on this OID. and i'd like a simple transformation of the data. I'd like to get todays print totals.. and this month's print totals... should be fairly simple but i cant seem to find any info on how to do this.

basically:

HPPrintTotalToday=HPPrintTotal.currentvalue-HPPrintTotal.ValueYesterday

and

HPPrintTotalMonth=HPPrintTotal.currentValue-HPPrintTotal.ValueFirstDayofCurrentMonth

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi Darrell,

    I think you need more a report than UnDP transformantion. Open Orion Report Writer from Start menu and create new report from Historical - Custom Pollers template. Set the report according your needs there (it is similar to creating advanced alert).

    Let me know if you need further assistance here.

    Thanks,

  • Thank you, i'm just getting a handle on the report writer. i created a rough report.. but i cant seem to figure out how to tell it to do any type of calculation. i created a historical custom poller.. it does pull up each of the printers total page count.. but how do i subtract yesterdays count from the current count to get just a single value to display?

    thank you for your help

  • Hi Darrell,

    go to the TimeFrame tab and select Yesterday from Time Frame dropdown.

    If you also want to filter the results for one node/printer then go to the Filter Results tab add new condition and select NodeName (NodeID) according your requirements.

    Thanks,

    Pavel
