I want to use the last value from a particular item as the custom multiplier for another item. It would appear that I can't but I'm not sure I'm doing it right or wrong.
The exercise is intended to solve the problem of variable server models and SNMP monitoring of disk sizes. The storage allocation unit needs to be multiplied by the storage size and storage used values to achieve a human readable output that's always correct. Unfortunately not all servers end up with identical disk layouts, partly from minor hardware differences and partly from the configurations done at OS install time.
I would think that {Hostname:ItemName.last(0) } should be able to be used as the custom multiplier or even the item name. I tried that and it failed with an odd error.
