Run time for a data point

[Desmond]

Hi All,

I want to keep track the run time of a data point since it has enabled. Then render the value in DD:HH format on the dashboard. It should be accumulative value. I have searched through the data points array but did not find any properties relevant to achieve my task.

Any help or advise will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Desmond,

You can achieve this with a Meta point. The meta point would execute on a cron pattern like 0 * * * * ? (every minute) with the script

if(RuntimeManager.isDataPointEnabled("DP_Xid"))
  return my.value + 1; //my is the variable name of the meta point
return 0;

Then you'll have to convert this to hours and minutes on the dashboard. Something like,

<ma-get-point-value point-xid="DP_Xid" point="runtimePoint"></ma-get-point-value>
{{runtimePoint.value / 60 | number:0}}:{{runtimePoint.value % 60 | number:0 | maPad:2}}
