Dashboard shows bytes not multiplied in Kb, Mb, Gb, etc.

[robertdb]

Hi,

I have a trigger to alert on disk space. That trigger description reads:
Drive {$DRIVELETTER} has {ITEM.VALUE1}% remaining ({ITEM.VALUE2} bytes)

This always displays the number of bytes remaining in bytes, which can be a long (unreadable) number, see screenshot:


Would it be possible to display this in Kb, Mb, Gb, etc? That would make the alert and the dashboard far more readable.

You have to set "Units" (B) for your item:

That's not it.

Hi,

The "Units" were already set to "B" (bytes).

Setting the Units to one of the described values (B, unixtime, uptime or s) does have an effect on the graphs, but not on the values displayed in the dashboard. I guess this is because the trigger needs to be calculated using "raw" (not multiplied) values.

I would expect the solution to be in the trigger name, now set to:
"Drive {$DRIVELETTER} has {ITEM.VALUE1}% remaining ({ITEM.VALUE2} bytes)"

Maybe something like this is required:
Drive {$DRIVELETTER} has {ITEM.VALUE1}% remaining ({ITEM.VALUE2:Mb} bytes)
(Please not, this is not actually a function, just and example)

I also tried to do a calculation in the trigger description. This did not work. I used this for the trigger description:
Drive {$DRIVELETTER} has {ITEM.VALUE1}% remaining ({ITEM.VALUE2/1024/1024} Mb)
and
Drive {$DRIVELETTER} has {ITEM.VALUE1}% remaining ({ITEM.VALUE2}/1024/1204 Mb)

Would be very helpful if somebody has done something like this and shared the way to do it.

is it possible to show value only as KB, not to calculate to MB GB?
