Display total traffic value in map object

Votes:

0

I'd like to display the total traffic and a small graph on a map.

i've created a map object containing:

<!--Graphs: Live graph  with total value-->
<div class="map_object map_graph" id="<@itemid>" objectid="<@objectid>" subid="<@subid>" style="<#mapobject type="coordinates" subid="<@subid>" mode="<@editmode>">">
  <span class="label"><#objectstatus name="lastvalue" id="<@objectid>"></span>
  <#object forcepng="false" type="graph" id="<@objectid>" graphid="0" width="<@width>" height="<@height>"  tooltexts="0"  graphstyling="baseFontSize='0'%20showLegend='0'%20showAxis='0'" >
</div>

But the value in this is the primary channel, how can i make it so that Traffic Total is displayed (usually ID: -1) and not the primary channel?

map-object traffic-total value

Assuming this is just for a few port - you simply could use the Business Data Sensor - this sensor could grab the channel from the other sensor (not changing the primary channel) and bypass this.

If you want to calculate stuff you could use the Sensor Factory Sensor instead, this one supports calculation on top of grabbing data from other sensors and their channels.

Worked great for me in the past - it's a rather simple way to accomplish the what you want.
