Found another quirk in 3.14, and that is an issue when WMI returns nothing, it doesn't hide the result. In the code block below, if IPv6 isn't returning info, I still have the "WAN IPv6 Latency" in the left column, even though the right column has no data and is blank.
WMI=interval:5,color:22ccee,text:WAN IPv6 Latency,namespace:root\cimv2,query:Win32_PingStatus where Address='ipv6.google.com', \
chart:line2 scale:linear series1:%ResponseTime% color1:00ff00 threshold1:1 80 0000ff,hide-no-result:1,display:{{{Host: %Address% [%ProtocolAddress%] Response Time: %ResponseTime%ms |%chart%}}}

The query is returning a row of data even when the ping fails so the hide-no-result option won't work. The triple curly braces are doing their job of suppressing the enclosed output if any of the enclosed return values are null, in this case probably %ResponseTime%. Other return values contain data.
@glenn - Ok, that makes sense. So how do I hide the whole thing if IPv6 isn't returning data? Like if the ProtocolAddress is blank due to not being able to be resolved? Or do I need to put the whole thing into a SET variable with HIDDEN:1, and then display all that with a follow up TEXT= section? Something like the following:
WMI=interval:5,color:22ccee,set:ipv6_latency,namespace:root\cimv2,query:Win32_PingStatus where Address='ipv6.google.com', \
chart:line2 scale:linear series1:%ResponseTime% color1:00ff00 threshold1:1 80 0000ff,display:{{{Host: %Address% [%ProtocolAddress%] Response Time: %ResponseTime%ms |%chart%}}},hidden:1
TEXT=interval:2,color:22ccee,text:WAN IPv6 Latency,display:%ipv6_latency%
Here's what I came up with
WMI=interval:5, set:ipv6Address=%Address% ipv6ProtocolAddress=%ProtocolAddress% ipv6ResponseTime=%ResponseTime%,\
namespace:root\cimv2,query:Win32_PingStatus where Address='ipv6.google.com',hidden:1
IF=value1:%ipv6ResponseTime%, comp:ne, value2:<null>
TEXT=interval:5,color:22ccee,text:WAN IPv6 Latency,\
display:Host: %ipv6Address% [%ipv6ProtocolAddress%] |Response Time: %ipv6ResponseTime%ms |%chart%,\
chart:line2 scale:linear series1:%ipv6ResponseTime% color1:00ff00 threshold1:1 80 0000ff
@glenn - I'll give that a try. I always forget about the IF feature. That should help.
