Possible Solutions

Solution Root Cause 1 - Create a command and add the appropriate x-paths 

Example

I have the following dataview and I want to pass the value of a cell into a command - as highlighted in the below screenshot

The Below command will achieve this

<command name="Gateway Echo Test Xpath Table Cell">
    <targets>
        <target>/geneos/gateway/directory/probe/managedEntity/sampler/dataview/rows/row/cell</target>
    </targets>
    <userCommand>
        <type>script</type>
        <runLocation>gateway</runLocation>
        <args>
            <arg>
                <static>/bin/echo</static>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>ancestor::gateway/directory/@name</xpath>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>ancestor::probe/parameters/@HostName</xpath>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>ancestor::managedEntity/@name</xpath>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>ancestor::sampler/@name</xpath>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>ancestor::dataview/@name</xpath>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>@rowname</xpath>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>@column</xpath>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>@value</xpath>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>state/@severity</xpath>
            </arg>
            <arg>
                <xpath>@managedEntity</xpath>
            </arg>
        </args>
