Avertissement

This plugin requires a minimum knowledge of SQL in order to be able to set certain criteria for the various queries that will appear in the dashboards. It is also recommended that you know the structure of GLPI tables.

Créer une requête SQL

The below example gives us the number of tickets on the root entity over the last 2 years:

SELECT YEAR(t.date_creation) as 'Year', count(*) as 'Volume of tickets'
FROM glpi_tickets t
JOIN glpi_entities e on t.entities_id = e.id
WHERE e.completename LIKE "Root entity"
    AND YEAR(t.date_creation) > YEAR(CURRENT_DATE()) - 5
GROUP BY YEAR(t.date_creation)
UNION
SELECT
    CONCAT('Estimated total end ', YEAR(CURRENT_DATE())),
    ROUND(
        (
            SELECT count(*)
            FROM glpi_tickets t4
            JOIN glpi_entities e4 on t4.entities_id = e4.id

            WHERE e4.completename LIKE "Entité racine" (root entity)
                AND YEAR(t4.date_creation) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE()) - 1
        ) *
        (
            (
                SELECT count(*)
                FROM glpi_tickets t3
                JOIN glpi_entities e3 on t3.entities_id = e3.id
                WHERE e3.completename LIKE "Root entity"
                    AND YEAR(t3.date_creation) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE())
            )
            /
            (
                SELECT count(*)
                FROM glpi_tickets t2
                JOIN glpi_entities e2 on t2.entities_id = e2.id
                WHERE e2.completename LIKE "Root entity"
                    AND YEAR(t2.date_creation) = (YEAR(CURRENT_DATE()) - 1)
                    AND (
                        MONTH(t2.date_creation) < MONTH(CURRENT_DATE())
                        OR MONTH(t2.date_creation) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE()) AND DAY(t2.date_creation) <= DAY(CURRENT_DATE())
                    )

            )
        )
    )

Setting query-related parameters

• From tools > SQL for dashboards, click on add

• Name your query (the one that will be visible from the dashboards) and identify it as active.

• In the SQL Editor tab, paste the above query, taking care to change the name of the entity if you have changed it.

• Click on the floppy icon to save the query and then on play icon to run the query.

An insert at the bottom will display the result of the query:

• In the set up fields tab, define the label, the number and the main label (optional, this is the name your table will have). In our case, the label will be « year », the number will be « number of tickets » and the main label will be « « number of tickets per year ».

• Select the type of graph (this is for information purposes only, so that you can preview your table; you will be asked to select the type of graph you want to appear in the tile later),

• You can limit the amount of data to be displayed.

• Then click on Save fields and preview.

Dashboard settings

• From Assistance > Dashboard, select the dashboard that is to receive the new tile

• Click on edit icon

• Add a new tile with plus icon

• Select the query you have just created

• Choose a colour for your tile

• You will then be asked to select the chart type

• Some dashboards may ask you to use colours and display values and labels.

• Your tile is now ready
