Live Twitter Feeds in Text Widgets
Below is a fairly simple process to add any public facing twitter feed to widgets on a dashboard. Some use cases I hear a lot from customers is that they liketo see companies twitter feeds along their own service health dashboards because sometimes social media moves faster than status pages or email updates. This will all be done within a Text Widget. There is an option to utilize source code, we’ll be working in there. Make sure you have the frame of an HTML page set up, You can add any title you want. Tags with spaces will have sections added to them below. <html> <title> </title> <body> </body> </html> <script> </script> The first step is to go tohttps://publish.twitter.com/. Put in the URL of the profile you want,ex: twitter.com/Microsoft365, and select its embedded feed. The website will give you an <a class>HTML code to copy. Put the<a class>section into the <body>. It should look like this: <html> <title> </title> <body> <a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/Microsoft365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by Microsoft365</a> </body> </html> <script> </script> There will be a <script>portion of the copied code, paste that into a notepad and take it out of the above. We will be using it in the next section. Next, we need to navigate to that .js link in the <script> section, you should do this in a separate tab. That page will lead you to the full JS code. Copy that code and paste it into the <script> section in your HTML frame. It should look like this: <html> <title> </title> <body> <a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/Microsoft365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by Microsoft365</a> </body> </html> <script> JS Code here </script> From there, save and close the widget. If done correctly it should look like this (It may take a few seconds to load): Some helpful tips: Changing the widget refresh frequency also changes the feed update frequency Once created, the widget can be cloned and changed to another twitter handle with relative ease Usually goes alongside Dashboards for Health/Status Monitoring and can give additional contextHow to export the boundary values from a Widget
I have a dashboard to show the CPU of particular resources. Each widgets of the panel have CPU details of particular resource group. I have used Virtual Datapoints with some mathematical calculations. As theseare graph widgets, the option called `boundaries` are showing at the end of the widget (when we open in wide screen). For whatever time range selected in the calendar, the widget cumulates the respective metrics' data for that time range and shows as "boundaries" (one single cumulative value for the entire time range for each metric/datapoint) By default the boundary values are showing as min, max and avg. I need to download these boundary values of each widget for the time range which I select. There is a option called "download" in each widget but it gives all the values only from the graph for each time instance. So there are more values which are variable according to the time instance. Is there any way to get the boundary values which is nothing one single cumulative value of a datapoint for the entire time range which I select. This information is very significant and I need this very urgently. Could anyone please help me on this as soon as possibleDevice / Instance Count in Widget
We receive requests from customers every now and then asking whether we could display the number of devices/instances dynamically on a widget, either through a Big Number Widget or Custom Graph Widget. An ancestral practice involves creating a complex datapoint with a value of 1, and then aggregate the sum of this datapoint on the widget to retrieve the total number of devices/instances. This could be tedious as it involves changes made on the DataSource level. There’s good news, though - We have modernized and simplified this method after making a breakthrough on a recent ticket utilizing the following neat and simple method, and we’d like to share this idea with our users: On a high-level, the quintessence of this stratagem is as follows: 1) Identify a non-zero datapoint where you'd like to see it'sdevices/instance count 2) Configure an Aggregate SUM of this datapoint e.g.AggregateSUM 3) Configure an Aggregate AVERAGE of this datapoint e.g. AggregateAVG 4) Create a Virtual Datapoint with the following expression: AggregateSUM/AggregateAVG Note: Datapoint with NaN will not be counted as a device or instance in the process of aggregation.
