Top N interfaces question

Hey All,

New Checkmk user here and we are doing a POC with the 2.5b4 release.
I am trying to figure out how to create a view or dashboard that shows the top N interfaces for sent/received bits across a fleet of network switches in a folder or location.

Example, in Datacenter 1, we have 30 TOR switches, I want to create a dashboard or view that shows the Top 20 Interfaces across all switches for in/out bits.

Pulling my hair out trying to figure this out, any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tom

Top X dashlet is an element for paid edition. According to your profile you’re doing it ‘raw’.

In the past I made a post to do it in raw on 2.1 for top cpu utilization:

Context / Search Filters: the actual thing you want list for.
Instead of Service: CPU Utilization in linked post do something like Interf* to get all the interfaces.

Sorting column: interfaces have multiple performance data values, so it is either the sent or received bits that get sorted first.

Probably you want something like:
Services: Service performance data - value number 2 ; Descending
Services: Service performance data - value number 3 ; Descending

Or you make separate views for sent and received.

Edit:
Oh, and the other post was about get Host alias mentioned in Top X dashlet, so you can change that to Host name instead. (-;
