Using |query_field_name| to customize a graph

[dholden]

First, I have read the manual. It has some great info in it. There is very little info on the query_field_name. I am assuming i can do something such as |query_ifDescr.1| ( where ifDescr.1 is a snmp oid that describes an interface) and the value will be printed somewhere on the graph. Can someone tell me how I might print this in the title of a graph. It seems it can only be used in the "Text Format" and "Value" fields of the Graph Template. Is this true?

Variable replacement only works for values retrieved as part of a Data Query. You can use any fields defined in the resource XML where direction is defined as input.

The variable name will be "|query_<XML field name>".

Check out the Interface Data Query and it's XML resouce file. It will help you to understand how it works.

Thanks Rony, I'll do that.

I too am trying to figgure out how to do this with no success. Can anyone give me some more direction on how to accomplish getting the interface description into the graph title?

Thanks

The variable name will be "|query_<XML field name>".

How can I replace a Custom Input Field for a Script/Command? If you look at the Screenshot I'd like to be able to replace |query_instance| with the value of the instance input field for graphs and data sources. Can this be done? It doesn't seem to work by just including "|query_instance|".
