I created custom map objects based on the Donuts:Alarms object, because I only wanted it to show 'Down' and 'Down Acknowledged'. So I customized the file and the include that comes with it.

Now, it seems that the number that is in the center of the circle is a combination of 'Down' and 'Down (acknowledged)' x2.

Here's the screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8JO9wTU.png

27 Down and 20 Acknowledged make for a total of 47, not 67.

Another example: https://i.imgur.com/FAcEg1E.png

5 + 8 = 13

So every time, the Down (Acknowledged) is counted twice.

I know you probably don't support me creating custom objects like this, but can you at least tell me where this number comes from?

Hello, can you specify what PRTG version you are using?

Updated 20.4 to 21.1.65.1767 yesterday. So this is in both those versions.

Thank you for that information, we tried to reproduce the issue but we are not getting that same result. We'd have to see what kind of customization was done to the object. We have the object to show the Alarms. And it shows also the warnings and unusuals, the number shows the total number of alarms. Can you check if perhaps that number showin in that object reflects the total amount of alarms? Otherwise, we would need to take a closer look. You can submit a ticket to support@paessler.com including more information like all the settings of the map and the custom object.

I think I've figured it out and it was caused by my own customizations.

<div class="prtg-plugin simpledonut h200" data-plugin="prtg-simpledonut" data-dataset=' <#colorcode color="statusdown">:<#objectstatus name="downsens" id="@objid" varexpand="id" show="textraw" valueifempty="0">, <#colorcode color="statuspartialdown">:<#objectstatus name="partialdownsens" id="@objid" varexpand="id" show="textraw" valueifempty="0">, <#colorcode color="statusdownack">:<#objectstatus name="downacksens" id="@objid" varexpand="id" show="textraw" valueifempty="0">, <#colorcode color="statuswarning">:<#objectstatus name="warnsens" id="@objid" varexpand="id" show="textraw" valueifempty="0">, <#colorcode color="statusunusual">:<#objectstatus name="unusualsens" id="@objid" varexpand="id" show="textraw" valueifempty="0">'> </div>

I had removed multiple entries from the dataset div because I wasn't using them (I only use down and downack). I accidentally had the line downacksens listed twice.
