map visualization - regex for mapping.fieldColors

mikaelbje — Thu, 17 Oct 2013 07:40:11 GMT

I'm trying to create a map visualization for different sites and I want to show each site name as well as their status on the map where status can be Up or Down. I'd like to color status Up green and status Down red. When I hover over a cluster/site I'd like to see the location name. I'm only able to get a count of Up/Down sites but without site names OR an overview of all sites but with no Up/Down info (I can always get the info in using an eval to include status into my location_name field, but this way I can't color it green/red.

Would it be possible to include support for regular expressions in mapping.fieldColors? I.e. instead of "Up:0xRRGGBB,Down:0xRR00FF", I could have "^.+ : Up$" and "^.+ : Down$" if I'd like to have let's say multiple fields returned to indicate location names + status (Up or Down) and I would like to color Up green and Down red but still show the location name.

No, unfortunately a satisfactory solution was not found.

Finally found this! A little trick using xyseries might help you solve what you're trying to accomplish. It certainly helped me. Doesn't relly solve the regex part where field names might be dynamic though.
