DC consumption from MPPT does not show on VRM dashboard?

I just installed a cerbo GX with a MPPT 100/20. Everything working nicely and get all the read outs. However on the VRM dashboard I see the solar yield and battery voltage but not the DC consmption that the MPPT is logging. It shows in the system status under the graph.

Why do I not see the consumption in the graph?

I have no doubt you will find this as frustrating as i did. To see logged DC consumption you need a battery monitor / smart shunt. Without one and you are limited to seeing just the snapshot under system status.

Thanks! Yeah it is quite frustrating. It cant be to difficult to show the consumption in the graph as the data is already present...

For now I refuse to add a smart shunt just to be able to see the consumption in that graph...i might change my opinion in the future though.

Yeah, this doesn't make any sense to me either. I can see DC consumption in the "History" tab on the mobile app so why can't I get this value in VRM?
