rangemap command

Hello

I have a question about the rangemap command

In this example, I can define colors for various alert values

| rangemap field=alert green=1-5 red=5-100

is there a way or command to define the same colors with strings except integers like

| rangemap field=alert red="critical" orange="warning" green="ok"

or can I convert this field strings (warning, critical ...) into integers ?

Thanks Robert

Hey Robert, rangemap expects numerical input, as such using strings to define colors will not work. You can however preface rangemapwith eval and convert your strings to integers. Here is an example, using your "alert" field:

| eval alert_level = case(alert=="ok",1,alert=="warning",2,alert=="critical",3) | rangemap field=alert_level green=1 orange=2 red=3
