Dashboard module

Menu

If you have defined dashboards, you can acess them by hover the "Dashboard" menu item.

Preparation

Define your dashboard using Dashboard channels, only them will listed to select!

You could also direct use "real" channels, but specialized dashboard channels have some advantages:

• Definition of axis start and end values, no auto detection
• Definable color bands on the axis

Channel definition

Define to color bands for the gauges like this.

start > end : color

• Spaces around delimiters are optional
• For start and end absolute or relative (with % suffix) values allowed, also mixed
• If start is not given, begins from axis starts
• If end is not given, ends on axis end
• Colors can be defined as HTML color names (green, red etc.) or HTML color codes (#123456)

E.g. for a temperature channel (with axis range -30°C ... 30°C) the following are equivalent:

   >  0 : blue         ==       -30 > 50%  : #0000FF
0  > 20 : green        ==       50% > 20   : #008000
20 >    : red          ==       20  > 100% : #FF0000

Example

Axis range: -15°C ... 55°C

   >  0 : #FBB  // below zero
 0 > 35 : #BFB  // ok 0 ... 35°C
35 > 40 : #FFB  // warning 35°C ... 40°C
40 >    : #FBB  // critical above 40°C
