Single Value in a screen from template?

[Justleen]

Hey All,

I ran into a problem which I cant seem to fix - and I cant imagine this is not implemented, thus I must be doing something wrong...

We have created several groups, with templates. So far so good.
Monitoring, triggers and events are working as expected.
But, Im at the stage I want to have the 1 min load values of several hosts on our big screen. I still need all the other values to be monitored, but i want only this one particular value on screen.

So i created a new group (with the hosts i need in it)and a new template (with only the load in it). But if now look at this groups's latest data, I see all the other values from other templates that the hosts are member of too. This is not what I want in this case, I only need the load - which I can then place in a screen...

What is the solution to this?
I know i can create a new host, with only the 1 minute load in there, but that seems silly: I'd not only have the hosts twice in there, but the 1 minute load polling too...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Create a screen and add the simple graphs "Load avg1" from the hosts you want to monitor ?

Yes, that works... But I need quite a lot of graphs, which dont fit on screen (and its not helping the loading time of the page..).
So I thought, why not use the trigger overview.. Nice little blocks which show me instantly what the load is...

Instead of a simple graph is your screen, you can use "plain text" with number of lines = 1.

This will display the latest value.

Yes, that gives the last value, but not the green-to-red indicactors I would get when using the trigger overview..

It must be possible to single out this one trigger for several hosts?
