Dashboards – How can I select a switch first and then an interface via two dropdowns?

For a DataMiner Dashboard I want to create a dropdown to select a switch first and once selected I want to select an interface to show KPIs such as In Rate, Out Rate as well as Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) parameters.

In the indices section I can only select by element or service, but not by protocol. Is there any trick to get the protocol?

Hi Thomas,

A possible solution could be:

  • Add a drop-down component that will list the elements:
    • Data source: Elements
    • Filter: Protocol
  • Add a drop-down component that will list the indeces:
    • Data source: Indices
    • Filter: The element drop-down component
    • Filter: The column parameter that will contain the indices (using the data source 'Parameters')
  • Add component that will display the KPI:
    • Data source: Parameters (the column parameter that contain the KPI value)
    • Filter: Element drop-down
    • Filter: Indices drop-down

Below a small example:

Hi Thomas,

The trick here is to use the complete data set of indices (you can drag/select the header of the indices data set to use it).
