Attributes - Parameters

Andreas2 years ago

Hi,

I have the following 2 questions:

  1. Is it possible to rename the attributes shown in the State Menu of traccar platform? i.e. teltonika sends parameter io24 which is for Speed. Can I rename the io24 into Speed?
  2. Is it possible to remove a parameter from the State Menu so as for the user not to be able to see a parameter?
  3. There are parameters that the GPS tracker device (FMC640) sends but they do not appear on the State Menu of traccar. Is it possible to see all the parameters that the platform receives from the device? and is it possible to add parameters that do not appear in the State Menu?

Thanks

Yes to all 3 out of 2 questions.

Dear Anton,

Thank you so much for the fast reply to my 2 questions which became 3 until I finished typing! :)

As I am new to traccar platform, are there are guidelines, places in the documentation, or links, on how to achieve the above?

You can show/hide fields from settings / preferences.

As for renaming, you can use computed attributes to create a new attribute with a new name.

Thanks for the support.

  1. I was able to hide fields using "UI: Hide Position Attributes" from Settings-Server-Attributes.

  2. Unfortunately, I was not possible to rename an attribute using computed attributes.
    I tried Settings-Computed Attributes- Description "RenameTest" - Attribute "io24" - Expression "io24" - Type "Number". Then from device settings - click on that computed attribute to appear. But nothing was done. Can you please check and let me know, what am I doing wrong?

  3. How can I check which parameters are read by traccar which are not visible in attributes, and if I use computed attributes can I make use of such attributes? (i.e. Teltonika parameter io196)?

Thanks

For point 2, for the "attribute" field you need to use the new name.

For point 3, there's no such thing. All attributes are displayed by default.

Thanks
Point 2 works!

For (3), I know that Teltonika FMC640 sends other parameters as well, i.e. io196 which is Driver 1 identification. Is there a way to be able to receive these parameters which the device is setting? or there is a possibility that traccar does not necessary receive all parameters?

Thanks

Traccar decodes all parameters for Teltonika, so if you don't see it means your device hasn't reported it.

OK Thanks
I will check this with Teltonika then!
