Icon Scale

[KyRoo]

Hi All,

Ive found an example how to display up down status on a weathermap.
I've seen that, if down you can display a dirrent icon that when it up, ...

I'm wondering if this can be done in some kind of scale.

like when the value is 0 get a red smily
when it is between 1 and 50 give a green smily
when it is between 50 and 75 a yellow smily
when it is between 75 and 100 a red one again
(this is an example, i cant to do this with other ranges and more pics)

Thanks,
kyRoo

You can do this two ways, depending on which version of weathermap you have.

In 0.91+, you can use 'inscalekey' to find which line in a scale the item hit.

Code: Select all

SCALE goodbad 0 0 255 0 0
SCALE goodbad 0 50 0 255 0
SCALE goodbad 50 75 255 255 0

to define a scale with the bands you want to use.
(the colours here don't actually matter - if you don't want the label to change colour, set all the colours to white)

Then you can use

Code: Select all

NODE blah
   USESCALE goodbad
    ICON images/status_{node:this:inscalekey}.png

Now, inscalekey contains a value like 0_0, 0_50, 50_75 (the top and bottom values of the scale line that was matched, with an _ in between). There's also a outscalekey. So you need icons called status_0_0.png etc.

In 0.95+, it's a bit nicer. There's a thing called a scale tag.

Code: Select all

SCALE goodbad 0 0 255 0 0  images/redicon.png
SCALE goodbad 0 50 0 255 0 images/greenicon.png
SCALE goodbad 50 75 255 255 0 images/yellowicon.png

NODE blah
   USESCALE goodbad
    ICON {node:this:inscaletag}

You can use the tag for anything, not just icons. So if you wanted a comment to appear alongside only busy links, you could do that with this method too.

Hope that lot makes a bit of sense. It's a few steps, but especially in 0.95 it's fairly painless.

Well still some troubles

My configuration is the following:

Code: Select all

SCALE goodbad 0 33 255 0 0  images/chip_ok.png
SCALE goodbad 33 66 0 255 0 images/chip_warning.png
SCALE goodbad 66 100 255 255 0 images/chip_critical.png

...

# Node definitions:
NODE MYHOST
        USESCALE goodbad
        ICON {node:this:inscalekey}
        INFOURL /cacti/graph.php?rra_id=all&local_graph_id=2001
        OVERLIBGRAPH /cacti/graph_image.php?...local_graph_id=2001
        TARGET gauge:/cacti/rra/myhost_5min_cpu_2591.rrd:5min_cpu:-
        POSITION 298 257

But when the map is being generate I have this error in my Cacti log file:

Code: Select all

11/04/2008 03:06:02 PM - WEATHERMAP: Poller[0] [Map 17] Sandbox: ICON 0_33 does not exist, or is not readable. Check path and permissions.

Well still some troubles

Replying to two different threads for the same problem is one of them...

My configuration is the following:

Code: Select all

SCALE goodbad 0 33 255 0 0  images/chip_ok.png
SCALE goodbad 33 66 0 255 0 images/chip_warning.png
SCALE goodbad 66 100 255 255 0 images/chip_critical.png

...

# Node definitions:
NODE MYHOST
        USESCALE goodbad
        ICON {node:this:inscalekey}
        INFOURL /cacti/graph.php?rra_id=all&local_graph_id=2001
        OVERLIBGRAPH /cacti/graph_image.php?...local_graph_id=2001
        TARGET gauge:/cacti/rra/myhost_5min_cpu_2591.rrd:5min_cpu:-
        POSITION 298 257

Sorry, that should be inscaletag, not inscalekey.

Yes sorry, for responding on the other topic, but as it was the same configuration, I screwed up by responding to the thread... sorry.

It's working fine now, thank a lot !
