Hi guys, due to different CPE brands, (TP-Link, Mikrotik and Zyxel) I want to have a couple of details on the Devices tab, like PPPoE Username, IP, SSIDs, but those value are on a different interfaces. I tried to use \* sign, but isn’t working, is there a way to sort this out? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/genieacs/original/2X/7/7c44d7ae11aa3df1d4a477bf46dd9ad68278bd41.png) ---

Use a [VirtualParameter](https://docs.genieacs.com/en/latest/virtual-parameters.html). This vparam will work for both TR-069 and TR-181. ```auto let username = ''; const now = Date.now(); if ("value" in args[1]) { username = args[1].value[0]; declare('InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.*.WANConnectionDevice.*.WANPPPConnection.*.Username', {path: now, value: now}, {value: username}) declare('Device.PPP.Interface.*.Username', {path: now, value: now}, {value: username}) } else { let keys = [ 'InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.*.WANConnectionDevice.*.WANPPPConnection.*.Username', 'Device.PPP.Interface.*.Username' ]; username = getParameterValue(keys); } log('PPPoEUsername: ' + username); return {writable: true, value: [username, "xsd:string"]}; function getParameterValue(keys) { for (let key of keys) { let d = declare(key, {path: Date.now() - (120 * 1000), value: Date.now()}); for (let item of d) { if (item.value && item.value[0]) { return item.value[0]; } } } return 'UNKNOWN'; } ``` ---

Which provision is the ideal to call it? Calling it on default could call several more times than needed. Check my default: ```auto const now = Date.now(); const hourly = Date.now(3600000); const daily = Date.now(86400000); const weekly = Date.now(604800000); const informTime = daily % 86400000; // Refresh basic parameters hourly declare("InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.HardwareVersion", {path: hourly, value: hourly}); declare("InternetGatewayDevice.DeviceInfo.SoftwareVersion", {path: hourly, value: hourly}); declare("InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.*.WANConnectionDevice.*.WANPPPConnection.*.MACAddress", {path: hourly, value: hourly}); declare("InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.*.WANConnectionDevice.*.WANPPPConnection.*.ExternalIPAddress", {path: hourly, value: hourly}); declare("InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.*.WLANConfiguration.*.SSID", {path: hourly, value: hourly}); declare("VirtualParameters.*", {value: weekly}, {value: informTime}); // Don't refresh password field periodically because CPEs always report blank passowrds for security reasons declare("InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.*.WLANConfiguration.*.KeyPassphrase", {path: hourly, value: 1}); declare("InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.*.Hosts.Host.*.HostName", {path: hourly, value: hourly}); declare("InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.*.Hosts.Host.*.IPAddress", {path: hourly, value: hourly}); declare("InternetGatewayDevice.LANDevice.*.Hosts.Host.*.MACAddress", {path: hourly, value: hourly}); ``` ---

For the PPPoE assigned IP, is there any chance of using VirtualParameter? Thanks ---

I don’t know if it will work for you, but I use coalesce when I have different parameters on different devices that I want in the same label, for example: - label: “‘IP’” parameter: COALESCE(Device.IP.Interface.3.IPv4Address.1.IPAddress,Device.DHCPv4.Client.1.IPAddress) ---

Yes you can. Follow the code that akcoder provided and substitute the parameters with those for the PPPoE IP. Here is another example: ```auto let ip = "0.0.0.0"; let d = declare("Device.PPP.Interface.1.IPCP.LocalIPAddress", {value: Date.now()}); let igip = declare ("InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.*.WANConnectionDevice.*.WANIPConnection.*.ExternalIPAddress", {value: Date.now()}); let igd = declare("InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.*.WANConnectionDevice.*.WANPPPConnection.*.ExternalIPAddress", {value: Date.now()}); if (d.size) { for (let p of d) { if (p.value[0]) { ip = p.value[0]; break; } } } else if (igd.size) { for (let p of igd) { if (p.value[0]) { ip = p.value[0]; break; } } } else if (igip.size) { for (let p of igip) { if (p.value[0]) { ip = p.value[0]; break; } } } return {writable: false, value: [ip, "xsd:string"]}; ``` Hope that helps.
