mirth-connect-dashboard-count

A Mirth Connect plugin to show the counts of channels in channel groups.

Also shows the listening port for HTTP, TCP, and WS connectors.

In the Dashboard:

In the Channel list: Coming soon! There's an MC bug that prevents this from working but the plugin code is all ready to go.

Inspiration

Listening port idea from MC Issues

https://github.com/nextgenhealthcare/connect/issues/5152 and https://github.com/nextgenhealthcare/connect/issues/2115 proposed adding the listening ports to the dashboard and channel listing

Channel Group count idea from Slack

It would be great to show a count of channels in the Dashboard. Like a count in each group would meet my needs.

@chris I think this channel was supposed to be shut down in favor of using github for ideas. There's a "Feature Request" template when creating a new issue, and there's also a "Feature/Enhancement Ideas" category in discussions.

GitHub issues sound great, but they apparently get as much consideration as the stuff posted here. So I'm happy to be ignored in either place.

com.mirth.connect.client.ui.DashboardPanel#makeStatusTable appears to support a pluggable dashboard column:
        for (DashboardColumnPlugin plugin : LoadedExtensions.getInstance().getDashboardColumnPlugins().values()) {
            if (!plugin.isDisplayFirst()) {
                columns.add(plugin.getColumnHeader());
            }
        }

oh ya dude this might be easy

com.mirth.connect.plugins.DashboardColumnPlugin implement one of those and make getColumnHeader return the header name and getTableData(ChannelGroup group) return group.getChannels().size() and do the plugin signing/ignore cert tango and it might work

the other abstract methods will just need a no-op implementation to return null or an empty object
