Hello

I have a requirement for showing the aggregated traffic for two interfaces that are in two different elements.

I'm having some difficulties on implementing the requirement to my internal client though, who is now waiting for this to be available for quite a while.

What is the approach you recommend for obtaining this using Dataminer?

Thank you.

Best regards

Hi,

If both elements are from the same driver and are the same parameter then the most easy thing to use is the Aggregation Rules on a surveyor view. See help

EDIT: Extra info on how to access such parameter: with the new dashboard component, this is available under "Parameters", select From: "View", View is then the required view with an active aggregation rule, below that are then the aggregation rule parameters available for the dashboard component. Below screenshot was taken with DataMiner 10.1.6.0

Hello Laurens,

I have that.. but the client wants something he could easily share with others.. any option?

Aggregation rules have also some limitations in the expressions we can use to do them, if I remind well…

Thank you.

According to this help: https://help.dataminer.services/dataminer/#t=DataMinerUserGuidepart_4dashboardsDashboard_components.htm , dashboards can have an aggregation component and dashboards can be shared so that could be an option to be able to share it

Yes.. but only in the “old” Dashboards right? Still not possible in the new app?

Thank you.

It is possible to get it in the new app.
In the data part, “All available data”, there is a section called “Parameters”, if that one is expanded then there is a part “From” for which it should then be set to “View”. Then in “View” select the surveyor view name from which you want to get the aggregated parameter and then beneath the search the available aggregated parameters are visible which can be used (in case the aggregation rule is enabled). Drag and drop that parameter into the design area and pick a visualization and the aggregated parameter content will be present on the dashboard
