Pagecount Table in Grafana shows not exact values (only rounded) #33

Closed gitbro23 closed 11 months ago

Hello Tylan,

just a small question: Is it possible to edit the table panel in Grafana of the pagecount, so that it shows not only "rounded" values like 6.2k pages? It would be great if I can read out the exact values like 6241 pages... 04-05-2023_16-38-25

Hi! I hear what you are saying, but not sure that's doable. The values entered into InfluxDB are the exact values (6241 in your case). I believe Grafana is displaying it as such because of the two separate values on the chart that are thousands of pages in difference. I don't believe there is a way to change the Y axis display. It would show more along the lines of what you're looking for if it were just showing the Black-and-White value. Hope that makes sense. I'd have to spin up an Icinga box (I'm now using Nagios XI) to test that theory but I believe that is the case.

Hi, OK. I got it. Now I took a look for a black-and-white printers. And here it is the same. Only rounded values on the Y axis.

I thought maybe we have the possibility to edit the graphs settings so that it is showing always the exact pagecount. But when you don't see any chance to do that, we keep it as it is. My idea was to get a report for all printers about the printing volume per month...
