Dashboard for “total energy consumption”

Solved1.02K views26th October 2023Dashboads dashboards app

Hi,

I need to implement a dashboard that shows the energy consumption KPI ("total energy" in kWh) across:

  • single or multiple racks
  • single or multiple sites.

The KPI is in the present being retrieved in Dataminer by APC PDU elements integrated on the platform.

a. The dashboard (s) “look and feel” should:

  1. Include a "bar chart" widget that should present the
  • Daily total energy consumption in kWh ( "one bar", per hour)
  • Weekly total energy consumption in kWh( "one bar", per day)
  • Monthly total energy consumption in kWh ( "one bar", per day )
  • Yearly total energy consumption in kWh ( "one bar", per month )

2. Should also include a “real time” trend graph for the KPI

3. We should be able to export the information also to a table (excel, .csv format)

4. The dashboard should be as flexible as possible in terms of visualization. Meaning: if the user wants to change the visualization to navigate the dashboard and see the KPI for different racks / sites it should be as easy as possible for him to do it by himself.

b. Note that in APC PDU driver we already have a “Total Energy” counter.

The problem is that the counter won’t show us the 24h / week / etc. directly.. we must calculate the values in order to have the “energy total” for the required time period, because the counter is the incremented value since the device first started counting.

To have the full rack, site, etc. “energy consumption” we must have also the possibility to aggregate these values across multiple APC PDU’s elements.

c.  Is this possible to achieve using Dataminer HTML5 dashboard app?

If it is can you please give me some guidance on how to achieve it?

Thank you.

Best regards

Bruno Sousa

Hi Bruno,
As you need some extra calculations op top of your DataMiner Data, I would advise you to look into Configuring an ad hoc data source in a query | DataMiner Docs | Configuring a custom operator for a query | DataMiner Docs. As these are GQI based, you'll be able to visualize it in different ways.

Also, since you're mentioning navigation toward rack views etc. I would also advise checking out DataMiner Low-Code Apps | DataMiner Docs that have some great tutorials: Low-Code Apps tutorials | DataMiner Docs

hope this helps
