Overview outbound traffic panel in custom dashboard?

Hi all,

On the system overview tab, there’s a useful panel for the outgoing traffic.
I know i can calculate this myself by summing the gl2_accounted_message_size over my choice of time period, however this is fairly resource taxing.
Is there any way we can reference this panel in our own custom dashboards, as it doesn’t appear to require significant resources to display.

Alternatively, is there a more efficient way to calculate these values on my own dashbaord without having to sum all values like i’ve mentioned above?

There is an api for the data on that widget, but you would have to feed that api data into graylog somehow and then report on that.

Summing that field really is the only method that isnt a weird hacky mess.
