    Displaying Uptime In A Screen In A Readable/Useable Format

    When uptime is retrieved from a device it is in the format of seconds and when the device has been running for a long time that number is quite large. When creating the item in Zabbix, the sequence of assigning it as "Type of Information" Numeric (unsigned), "Data Type" of Decimal, "Units" s, "Use Custom Multiplier" of .10 causes it to be displayed under Latest Data in the format of Months/Weeks/Days or Hours/Minutes/Seconds, etc., depending on how long the device has been running.

    What am trying to figure out is how to get that same information displayed as a single line on a custom Screen for each device in a group so that one can look at a single screen and see how long each device in that group has been up. Trying to use the "Plain Text" option just gives you the large number retrieved via SNMP -- which is of no value for that purpose.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to get what is shown via "Latest Data" to also show on a Screen.

    Hope I have explained myself well enough on this.

    Thank You.

    Please disregard. Figured out a solution using Maps. Thank You.

        Screenshot of Map Element

        Don't know if this is what you are looking for, but here is a screenshot of the Map element configuration for one of the devices.

          That's perfect, thanks. I was able to find in another thread that you put {<HOSTNAME>:<itemkey>.last(0)} in the banner label, which is unsurprisingly missing from the list of acceptable items in map labels.
