Monitor current from Buck Boost

On my Cerbo GX I can see the current coming in from the solar panels. Is it possible to have a similar display showing when current is coming in from the Buck Boost? I have the 50A model.

Yes with a smart shunt set as a DC meter, on that circuit connected to the GX.

I have a smart shunt but it is connected to the battery to monitor total charge. Would I need a second shunt just for the Buck Boost?

Yes. The buck boost current isn't reported by the buck boost, so you'll have to measure it.
