Hi All,

I tried to pump random data into a Mdashboard gauge but nothing showed. Normal dashboard worked fine. Anyone can help would be appreciated! Here's the flow:

Don't mix dashboards, use one or the other or you may run into issues.

@ zenofmud, I did previously with only mdashboard(totally removed all the dashboards and re-installed mdashboard only), but still the values didn't show. Any issue with node-red v0.19.1?

</div>

certianly does look like a problem, doesn't seem to work in v0.19.2 eithor. I would raise an issue on the github page for the node.

The flow you posted suggests you still have both installed.

@Collin, I didn’t show the post with just mdashboard. I tried at my end here and it didn’t work as well. I will use node-red at a lower version and test out the mdashbaord gauge. Thanks for your concern!

Show us the node-red log when you start node red. Depending on which OS you are using and how you installed you may be able to use

```bash
node-red-stop
node-red-start

```

to see the log.

You cannot have both dashboards installed at the same time. Uninstall one of them and try again.
