ThingWorx Monitoring and Alerting, Part 2Using Prometheus and GrafanaBy Tori Firewind, IoT EDCBuilding Dashboards    To add a panel which monitors some component of the ThingWorx application to a dashboard in Grafana, click to add a new panel. Under “Metrics” in the box at the bottom of the screen, select what ThingWorx metrics you wish to monitor (type “thingworx” in the search box to see them all). For example, select the Platform Subsystem memory in use:    Label filters aren’t necessary, though you may want to sort by instance if you are monitoring multiple ones with the same dashboard. You may also want to take some time to format the Y axis, which by default will show in bytes. Go to the formatting panel on the right side and scroll down to the section called “Standard options”. For the Unit dropdown, start typing “data” and then select “bytes (SI)”. This will automatically determine if the bytes you’ve provided should really print as MB or GB based on how lar

ThingWorx Monitoring and Alerting, Part 1Using Prometheus and GrafanaBy Tori Firewind, IoT EDCIntroduction and Getting Started    As ThingWorx has become a more mature product during the lifetime of the IoT EDC, so too have our dev ops recommendations. As we’ve stated throughout many posts now, testing is a key part of ensuring enterprise readiness, and it occurs at every stage of the process: from unit testing to preserve individual service logic, to integration tests which preserve the functionality of the application as a whole, to user and edge load testing and user experience testing, which ensure enterprise readiness. So testing is a critical component, but the process of dev ops never stops. In order to effectively test the system, a comprehensive monitoring solution is also required.    Once the application is tested and the changes pushed into production, there is no knowing with certainty that everything will run smoothly indefinitely.

Good day community, I have a connected device represented by a thing. There is a property on the thing called: last connection. I am representing this thing using a label and an icon on the mashup side. This icon should change to a green color when the device is connected and then switch to a red color when the device is offline. How do I go about writing a dynamic service to accomplish this?Many thanks,  

Hi Developers,I'd like to get your support on CSS part.I'm try to hide the disclosure button in the value display widget with custom css, however it doesnt work.Could you tell me how we can hide the button ?our thingworx env is "ThingWorx 9.2.6-b366". 

After installing the Thingworx Analytics Extension, the Analytics tab is not showing up in Composer although the Analytics Server Things do show up and are 'connected'.Details:We have a Thingworx Foundation cluster (3 nodes) running Thingworx 9.3.0 on RHEL.We just finished installing Thingworx Analytics Server 9.3.0 on a separate RHEL node.  As part of the Server installation, we set it to install the Analytics Extension in Foundation.  It gave us a message that the extension was queued for install on the next platform restart. Since it's a cluster, we weren't sure whether that meant to restart just one of the nodes, all of them individually, or all of them at the same time.  So we tried all three of these methods.  We also tried installing the extension directly in Composer.  The Analytics tab for Analytics Builder/Manager still doesn't show up in Composer.  Any ideas on what we may have missed?

Is there any way to send multiple outputs from the single service at a set of intervals?  for ex:  I have an HTML snippet to display images using the HTML text area widget. In my case, I have a list of image URLs in an array to display. My intention after invoking the service user should see all the images, each image should stay on the screen for 2 seconds.  unfortunately, the HTMLTextArea widget is not taking a script from the HTML code.

Hi Experts,   I have a very specific requirement to highlight certain bars in a Bar Chart without changing original colors of the bars.   Current scenario: Data infotable is bound to Chart and chart adjusts and displays bars according to the data value with different color for all bars.   Expected: Data infotable has 2 values beyond threshold and chart should highlight those 2 bars in red color and rest of the bars should remain in original(different) colors.   Tried and didn't work: Applied state formatting with a threshold value which turns all the bars meeting condition in red color and rest of them in another single color. Attached is the screenshot of the same.     Example: Display top 2 fruits bars in red which has highest sales i.e. Banana and Pear.
