Highlighting noteworthy data

Open ThomDietrich opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Hey @willemdh and all, I just realized that even though FireMotD presents a lot of useful information I actually never "check" it for irregularities, even though that is how we ideally should use it.

Therefore I suggest to introduce a threshold (max AND/OR min) for values. If outside of the thresholds, a value will be presented in a theme-specific warning highlighting style. Wdyt?

Here's a super professional draft:

I guess if we want to do that, we will have to start collecting historical data, which will be completely different level.

Hey all, this has been on my to do for a long time. Not sure why we would have to collect historical data @dimon222 . We could just set a MaxValue and / or MinValue in the json exportfile and a ValueWarningColor and ValueCriticalColor in the new json templates. Thanks for making the issue.

@dimon222 I agree with Willem. That was not my intention and I think we can leave this area to more complex tools.

@willemdh sure thing. You've mentioned Warning and Critical, that is already more complex than my proposal and I'm not sure if it is needed.
