Can the transformation options be included?

[darinarrick]

If you add a Graphite data source, you get a menu at the end of the query which has a bunch of transformation options (i.e. "Combine", "Transform", "Calculate", etc.). When you add data from PRTG, there is no such menu. Can this be added?

Use case: I'm pulling processor utilizations from a farm and I want to make a chart of the average (i.e. Server1CPU1+Server1CPU2+Server2CPU1+.../(num of CPUs)). I'm pretty new to Grafana, so I don't know if I can just hack this together in the Panel JSON or if the UI is needed for it.

Thanks!

This would be a great feature. I was just trying to show my CPU average on a singlestat but it doesn't work. I believe the query returns multiple values for the channel.

This feature would help out, cause I need to multiply value by 8 for a certain use.

As I said, I'm new to Grafana, but it looks like those functions are in the data source itself (not the datasource interface like this one we're using for PRTG, but in PRTG or the underlying database itself).

To get an average of some things in PRTG, I had to make a sensor with the built in "Sensor Factory" in PRTG, with a formula to add things together and then divide by the quantity. It then just becomes another sensor that you can add through neuralfraud's PRTG datasource just like any other.

So this may not be a valid feature request after all.

alright i'll see what i can do here in the near future. I think enough people have requested it so i may as well look into it. i'll keep this issue open.

This would be great. I measure Netonix voltages with PRTG and they are reported in Volt*100

Adding a vote on this because on network graphs the displayed scale ends up being in MB/s which confuses people. It'd be nice to be able to multiply by 8 and set the scale to bits/sec rather than bytes/sec, which I'm guessing is what @lbgonzalez10 is wanting to do as well.

Same request as https://github.com/neuralfraud/grafana-prtg/issues/1?

I think you can achieve this within PRTG by using "SENSOR FACTORY SENSOR" with functions, and then taking the result of the sensor to Grafana.

Hi.

I would love to have this transform feature.

But for the meantime, is there a way to have the PRTG API to return values in bits instead of bytes?

[scfigg]

alxshr - I added a factory sensor to my firewall in PRTG to monitor internet throughput, and can't get it to display in Mbps in Grafana. Here is an example of my PRTG sensor:

1:SSC-in

Channel(6164,0) * 8

2:SSC-out

Channel(6164,1) * 8

3:SSC-total

Channel(6164,-1) * 8

However, then in Grafana, it shows in Gbps or Tbps. I can't get it to show properly to save my life. I have the metric set to bits/sec. Any ideas?
