creating custom map table using tag filtering

Votes:

0

I'm trying to create a map object that lists all errors filterd on tags. I want to add different tables to one map, where each table represents the errors for a different team.

so far I have the following

<!--Data Tables: Alarms (Small Library) Tag in HTMLbefore -->

<div class="map_object map_table" id="<@itemid>" objectid="<@objectid>" subid="<@subid>" style="overflow:auto;<#mapobject type="coordinates" subid="<@subid>" mode="<@editmode>">">
  <#mapobject type="objectgrip" mode="<@editmode>">
  <#mapobject type="htmlbefore" subid="<@subid>" var="tagfilterstring">
  <#checkobjecttype objecttype="probenode,group,device" nicemessage="true" id="<@objectid>">
  <div class="maptablecontainer" style="overflow:hidden">
    <#lang key="html.dashboard.alarms" default="Alarms" var="alarms">
    <#lang key="html.dashboard.ackalarms" default="Ack'ed Alarms" var="ackalarms">
    <#lang key="html.dashboard.warnings" default="Warnings" var="warnings">
    <#lang key="html.dashboard.unusuals" default="Unusuals" var="unusuals">
    <#objectstatus name="downsens" id="<@objectid>" show="htmllink" var="alarmcount">
    <#objectstatus name="downacksens" id="<@objectid>" show="htmllink" var="ackalarmcount">
    <#objectstatus name="warnsens" id="<@objectid>" show="htmllink" var="warningcount">
    <#objectstatus name="unusualsens" id="<@objectid>" show="htmllink" var="unusualcount">
    <#objectproperty name="name" var="objname" id="<@objectid>">
    <b><#inserthtml html="@tagfilterstring @alarmcount @alarms, @ackalarmcount @ackalarms, @warningcount @warnings, @unusualcount @unusuals (@objname @objectid)" varexpand="html"></b>
    <#table tableid="dashalarmtable"
      content="sensors"
      id="<@objectid>"
      columns="device,downtimesince,sensor"
      count="50"
      sortby="downtimesince"
      links="false"
      sortable="false"
      infoheader="false"
      filter_tags="@tag(<@tagfilterstring>)"
      filter_status="5"
      filter_status="4"
      filter_status="13"
      filter_status="14"
      filter_status="10">
  </div>
  <#mapobject type="htmlafter" subid="<@subid>">
</div>

When adding this object and adding a keyword to the BeforeHTML it seems the variable @tagfilterstring is recognized. It is listed by line 17 <#inserthtml html=@tagfilterstring.... This line shows the text from the BeforeHTML in my table.

The filtering however does not work. it only works when I add the keyword to the filter_tags line.

Kind regards Bert van Hove

Hi Bert,

The easiest would probably be to add custom map objects that directly filter for these tags instead of the variable, if the filter_tags field is no viable option. The way you're doing it is not supported I'm afraid.
