Object - Live data

If you are the owner to the Dashboard you can add an object called "Live data" via the "Object adder" menu. You can reach this menu via the shortcut "Ctrl + M". This object is a bit different compared to the other Dashboard objects since this one has some more settings. You can see an example of how this cobject might look like in the Dashboard below.

 

The data shown in the example above is depending on what machine you have selected in the "Overview" menu in "Client" as well as what SQL query you have selected when you created the object in the "Object adder" menu. It is also possible to fetch the data seen above directly from "Client" via the left side menu option called "Live Data", see picture below.

As stated earlier this object is a bit different due to the fact that it has more options to change the objects settings. See picture of that menu as well as explanations below.
