It's also will break the editor horribly again. (How can you show that some of the items in a dialog box are subject to some arbitrary condition?)
about that: all files starting with an "if-statement could be excluded when writing the config file from the editor. Actually, when you want to use variables for i.e. icons (up, down, etc.) the editor can´t handle this, afaik.

since there is little i can do to solve this issue internally (sadly) i found my workaround to be the inclusion of "nasty" iframe code in the "notes" field.
An info.php script will get me the DB-query results i need and i can do all the if-else i want to :).

Hi,

i still test the new version. Everything is working fine.

I tried the new feature for SCALE vlaues < 0, cause i need this for some optical parameters. It doesn't work with my values. I get the following error:
WARNING: [Map 5] ons-rz3-inside.conf: NewColourFromPercent: Clipped -500% to 0% for item x-1/2-rx
or
WARNING: [Map 5] ons-rz3-inside.conf: NewColourFromPercent: Clipped -2% to 0% for item x-1/2-tx

My graph values at this time are -50 and -0.2 (dBm). But i use a CDEF to divide the value by 10, cause original values are -500 and -2.


-------------------------
Here is my code:
HTMLSTYLE overlib
SCALE trunk_status -60 -39.9 0 255 0 images/ons_trunk_3.png
SCALE trunk_status -39.9 60 255 0 0 images/ons_trunk_1.png

#osc-line(tx)
NODE x-1/2-tx
POSITION 56 336
TARGET gauge:../../rra/x_5min_opt_tx_co_590.rrd:5min_opt_tx_co:-
ICON 6 9 {node:this:inscaletag}
USESCALE trunk_status in

#osc-line(rx)
NODE x-1/2-rx
POSITION 50 336
TARGET gauge:../../rra/x_5min_opt_rx_co_586.rrd:5min_opt_rx_co:-
ICON 6 9 {node:this:inscaletag}
USESCALE trunk_status in
-------------------------------

1. Is there something wrong in my conf or is it not possible to use values like my one?
2. Isn't it possible to use CDEFs? It would be great, if i could use them like in my graphs.

I think this should be
USESCALE trunk_status in absolute
otherwise your -ve value is treated as a percentage.

2. Isn't it possible to use CDEFs? It would be great, if i could use them like in my graphs.
For simple multiplication/division it is possible:

Code: Select all

        TARGET 0.1*gauge:../../rra/x_5min_opt_tx_co_590.rrd:5min_opt_tx_co:-
to divide by 10.

Slow query

Post by widek611 »

This new SQL query from setup.php takes about 14sec on SPARC system
with 8core 2,4GHz, 16GB ram, Mysql 64bit 5.1.25-rc-log (Coolstack).

Code: Select all

	[quote]// $requiredlist = db_fetch_assoc("select distinct weathermap_data.*, data_template_data.local_data_id, data_template_rrd.data_source_type_id from weathermap_data, data_template_data, data_template_rrd where weathermap_data.rrdfile=data_template_data.data_source_path and data_template_rrd.local_data_id=data_template_data.local_data_id");
	// new version works with *either* a local_data_id or rrdfile in the weathermap_data table, and returns BOTH
	$requiredlist = db_fetch_assoc("select distinct weathermap_data.id, weathermap_data.last_value, weathermap_data.last_time, weathermap_data.data_source_name, data_template_data.data_source_path, data_template_data.local_data_id, data_template_rrd.data_source_type_id from weathermap_data, data_template_data, data_template_rrd where weathermap_data.local_data_id=data_template_data.local_data_id and data_template_rrd.local_data_id=data_template_data.local_data_id;");[/quote]
When i used previous SQL everything was OK.
I used "log-slow-queries" option in MySQL.

re: SQL... I am away this weekend listening to loud music and drinking, but I'll take a look in a day or so. I'm pretty sure the change was to improve performance :roll:

Could you please check in weathermap_data and see if you have any entries with local_data_id==0? If so, please truncate weathermap_data, and wait a few poller cycles for it to repopulate. I have a note that the database update script in setup.php should have done this for you, but it's possible it didn't, I guess. Also, could you let me know how many rows there are in weathermap_data?

In fact the new query does less than the old one (which allowed for using either local_data_id or a filename to find data). The new one works on local_data_id only.

I redid some of my cacti host templates and weathermap dashboard maps so that I could stop having weathermap do direct SNMP polling and get to all dsstats for my weathermap data gathering. Below is my datasource & runtime comparison for anyone that wants the scale-testing information:

Old runtimes (0.96a): 5 maps, 126 cactihost: calls, 143 snmp: calls, 829 dsstats: calls, 20-30s Weathermap runtime
New runtimes (0.97test4): 6 maps, 126 cactihost: calls, 962 dsstats: calls, 8-10s Weathermap runtime.

I had adjusted the SNMP timeout to be 500ms, 1 retry in 0.96a, but generally no hosts were timing out for the runtimes quoted. Once hosts started timing out, the runtimes ballooned to 45s+

This should improve in some cases with 0.97 - it has the option to just give up on a host after 'n' queries fail. So if you have a downed switch, you won't have to wait for 48*timeout... with 126 hosts, I guess it may not have helped you so much though.

It would be quite nice for weathermap to collect these kinds of usage stats, wouldn't it? I did start on that a while ago, to try and figure out which features people use, too.

Well, the primary reason I switched from using the SNMP target to the DSStats target is that I wanted to put the Frequency (which is what I was polling with WM via SNMP) on the graph templates I was graphing. So I figured having the added bonus of speeding the WM execution time by having everything called via DSStats was gravy (which it definately appears to have helped).

OK. It works perfect.
Thanks very much.

Howie,

Are there any plans to allow for setting map order underneath the tab settings?
Thanks,

You have been able to change the map order since version 0.8... it works the same way - click the little arrows.
