Adding or modifying traffic light parameters

Use the information in this section to add or modify traffic light parameters. You can specify traffic lighting parameters when you create or modify notifications.

When adding or modifying traffic lighting parameters, note the following:

  • Use showLimitLines=true to add status indicators to the background of the chart. When you add this parameter, a text label is automatically added for the threshold and defaults the line color to black.
  • Use limitlabel1, limitlabel2, limitcolor1, and limitcolor2 to customize the output of the threshold lines.
  • Add variables to the limitlabelX and limitcolorX parameters to specify labels and colors for the threshold lines. You must use a plus sign (+) between variables. You cannot use spaces between variables.
  • If you do not want to add a label on a line, set the limitlabel's value to +. For example limitlabel=+.
  • Add the text red or green to the limitcolor parameter. However, no other text is supported and other color values should be expressed as R, G, B values. You must use the following formula Color = R + (256 * G) + (65536 * B). For example, Color = 175 + (256 * 246) + (65536 * 158); therefore, Color = 10417839

    You can obtain R, G, B values by using a graphic software package.

Example Description
2d=true
showLimitLines=true
This example adds a status indicator to the background of the chart. A text label is added for the threshold and defaults the line color to black.
2d=true
showLimitLines=true
limitlabel1=High+threshold
limitcolor1=10417839
limitlabel2=Low+threshold
limitcolor2=red
This example:
  • Adds status indicators to the background of the chart.
  • Adds a label of High threshold to the first data item.
  • Displays the color corresponding to the value for the first data item.

    This value was obtained by applying the color formula Color = R + (256 * G) + (65536 * B) so that Color = 175 + (256 * 246) + (65536 * 158); therefore, Color = 10417839

  • Adds a label of Low threshold to the second data item.
  • Displays red for the second data item.
