Issue/Introduction

We are creating a dashboard using dashboard designer and we want to monitor process state, memory usage & cpu for each process monitored under a specific machine. 

I'm trying to create multiple target List Designer widget in my dashboards but there doesn't look to be an option. 

I can't find a way to show multiple targets from the same system. How can we achieve this? 

Environment

DX UIM 20.4.* / 23.4.*

Cause

Widget Limitation

Resolution

• LIMITATION:

The List View Widget from the Dashboard Designer only supports single "Computer Systems" main filtering. 

This means you can only have 1 entry for the same Computer System. 

• ALTERNATIVE: 

An alternative is to  "List Designer" report as it supports showing multiple targets from the same system. 

Go to Dashboard > List Designer

In the List designer you can use "Target" as "Row source". 

 

• • PRACTICAL EXAMPLE (processes qos)
    
    
    For example, to monitoring 3 processes on my uimserver:   
    
    
    I edit the primary columns:
    
    Then you add the QOS column selecting the right QOS.
    
    Then you add a "Source" column as info:
    
    
    
    So, the result would be this.
    
    
    
    
• ALTERNTATIVE USING SQL QUERY WITHIN THE DASHBOARD DESIGNER:
  Alternatively you use a SQLTable widget  inside the Dahsboard Designer as SQLTable widget and use a custom query 
  
  
  For example, the following query, where you'd replace the source name in the query and it would return something like this: 
  
  
  SELECT
def.source,
def.target,
snap.samplevalue
FROM S_QOS_DATA AS def
join cm_configuration_item_metric cm on cm.ci_metric_id=def.ci_metric_id
join cm_configuration_item_metric_definition cb on cm.ci_metric_type=cb.met_type
JOIN S_QOS_SNAPSHOT AS snap ON snap.table_id = def.table_id
-- snap.[sampletime] > dateadd(hour, -1, getdate())
where source = '<uim_server>'
AND qoS = 'QOS_PROCESS_STATE'
order by def.qos asc
