Good day

I am doing monitoring at the moment.  
Now I read out the status code of a raid via SNMP (2 = OK, 3 = Degrade etc.)  
But I want the dashboard to show "OK" instead of a 2 or "Degrade" instead of a 3.  
I have tried it with the function "Change".

Unfortunately this does not work  
Thanks for your help

The line "suche nach" you have to click on the "az" en change it to number.  
Your payload value 2 is a number and not a string.

This was the mistake. I actually overlooked this. Thanks for the help and I wish you a pleasant day.
