Question

Getting numerical tabled values instead of only duration on the dashboard

We are using TrendMiner 2025.R4.0-12.

A monitor automatically creates a Context Item for every completed bag.

Event Analytics correctly calculates the Maximum Weight for each bag.

Is there a supported way to automatically populate a numeric Context Item Field (e.g. Bag Weight) with that Event Analytics calculation so it becomes available in ContextHub and DashHub?

If not, is there another supported method to expose one calculated value per monitor-generated event on a DashHub dashboard?

When performing a search, you have the option to create context items from the search results, including mapping any calculations you have done on the search results to context item fields (user guide article).

However, you are correct that this not work yet for monitors. There is no built-in way to automatically fill the fields of newly created context items with calculations. What we have done in the past to solve this is to build a small (Python) script which:

  1. Captures the context newly created by the monitor
  2. Calculates the necessary values (e.g. max weight) for the context items
  3. Updates the context items with these calculations as fields

This script would then have to run on a schedule to regularly keep the new items up to date.

If you have some experience in Python, we can  provide you with an example script. If not, you can reach out to your Customer Success Manager to see if this is a service we can provide for you.
