Map-Object - Channels of a Sensor - with only specific channels

Votes:

0

Hi,

I am not sure if this topic is already answered somewhere else, but is there a way to only show specific channels of a sensor in a table?

I know that you can create custom map-objects like graphs and with hide="Channel ID, Channel ID,..." to only show specific Channels of a Sensor.

As Example I copied the Mapobject <!--Data Tables: Channels of a Sensor--> and tried to hide some of the channels, but couldn’t figure it out.

I don't want to generally hide the channel vie the "Table Rendering" settings of the Channel. I only want to show the most important channels of some sensor (one table per sensor) in one map.

Many thanks in advance.

channels customize map-objects maps

Hi there,

Unfortunately, the "hide" parameter is not available for data tables. You can test this with the following call:

/api/table.json?content=channels&id=SENSORID&columns=objid,name,lastvalue,value&hide=CHANNELS



Best regards.

Hi Dariusz,

Dear Jacqueline,

that is not possible with an API call or map object. A graph offers the feature to hide channels, which can be used interactively as well. But a table does not have this feature anywhere in PRTG and is therefore also not offered via the API or map object. The only way here would be to setup a factory sensor, mirroring the needed channels and then use this sensor in the PRTG map.
