Http Content channel decimal places

Votes:

0

I have set up a content monitor. It seems to be having problems with the Channel Decimal Places setting. I have 5 channels. Some of them have varying decimal places in their output.

The Http page raw values look like this: [200] OK - Flash media is still playing OK. BufferLength: [0.101]; BufferTime: [0]; BytesLoaded: [0]; BytesTotal: [0];

When I leave the channel decimal places at the default settings, the result in charts for the BufferLength is 0. So I tried to change the decimal places. I clicked on All, instead of automatic. I click save. The interface indicates that it is still set at automatic. Results in charts still say 0.

If I set it to 3 decimal places, the interface still reports that it is set for automatic. However, I will get an error "unexpected format" if the results only have 2 or 1 decimal.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

hallo,

when creating the sensor, did you set the Value Type to Float?

She settings in the channel are only to change the view.

Please create the sensor a second time and select the Float Value Type and check if that solves the issue.
