[INFO] Show off your Weathermaps.

[Howie]

on the drawings with a say, 6509 with populated ports with color codes.


Question, the port status color, are they dynamic or static, meaning, are you specifying which is green or red or whatever or is some kind of call coming from cacti determining the color state. If it is dynamic, can someone give a short howto on getting this working? I have looked all over and i can't place my finger on how to actually do it correctly and i have a ton of core switches in my network i would really like to do this on. keep in mind, most of my interfaces are Layer 2 interfaces not Layer 3 interfaces, so i am trying to figure out what to set up.

Here's one way:
http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=38149

It may not scale so well if you really have a ton of switches. I use it with a few hundred ports with no problem though.

The other way is to use the "interface status" template from these forums, so Cacti collects port status information, and then use that rrd file in a similar way. Cacti should be more efficient at collecting the SNMP info than my simple-minded SNMP plugin for weathermap.

Thanks Howie and i will give it a try.

great work by the way, my bosses think i am some kind of genius.....

Hi Everybody !

First > excuse me for my bad English ...

Two > You can see up a truncated part of my testing config ... my problem is that i can't display correct label for the traffic " In " , always " showing " 0 " ( see attachment )
Is there any problem in the config ?
( inOutOctets and inOutOctets are the DS name showing by rrdtool info .. )
What to do to display mega and not kilo ?

Third > Can someone tell ( or show ) me how i can change the color of the concerned node label using the status of the VPN Tunnel ( up / down ) .
I'm using the "Netscreen - Tunnel Interface Traffic" template.

Thank you very much

Please could you create a new thread for this?

But first thing to check - are there any warnings in cacti.log?

I still can not get the port status node mapping to work. I have the graphs built and working for the particular interfaces working correctly, but for the life of me i can't get the port status on a weathermap to work. can someone look at my node config and tell me what i am doing wrong? as soon as i hit submit on the node config box, the node disappears completely. i am really not sure what i am missing at this point. please help me.

here is my node config.

<<<<

SCALE DEFAULT 0 1.5   0 255 0

>>>>



my graph name for the int_status is 6509-i_int_status_7107.rrd
and
my graph id is showing up as 6836.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Jeff

if you are pasting those lines into the node config box, don't do that - they aren't node config. I don't really know what will happen in that situation, but ignoring the entire node wouldn't be a surprise.

[jhollon]

ok, so just the other stuff should work? problem is that there is no designation for an icon and i would like the icon to change color like the others depending on the port state. I am just really confused on this one now.

If you want that, then yes you'll need an ICON line too. But you don't need an ICON line in general - a node can have just a label, and that's not a problem.

[jhollon]

so just putting the following in should result in a correct node showing the up/down status.

NODE BL1
LABEL 01

INFOURL /graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=6836&rra_id=all
OVERLIBGRAPH /graph_image.php?rra_id=0&graph_nolegend=true&graph_height$
TARGET gauge:/var/www/cacti/rra/6509-i_int_status_7107.rrd
POSITION 131 183

and then the below should be in the global of the map so that it changes color? depending on the up/down graph status?

SCALE DEFAULT 0 1.5 0 255 0
SCALE DEFAULT 1.5 2.5 127 127 127

SET key_hidezero_DEFAULT 1


below is my entire map config at this point (just trying to get one status working. not sure what stays or goes.

Here is something I created as a proof of concept to show a client the difference in "internet" and "vpn" traffic.

[Jem]

Hi Leddy,

I'm trying to do something near what you did but to show QoS mapping on cisco routers.

I don't know yet how to have the major link "cutted" by the lense, how did you do that ?

Thanks

Edit:
[SOLVED] I did a linkstyle oneway and manage the link size through the node position

Jem,

I used smoke and mirrors by changing the ZORDER.
Things are drawn like this:
1.) Long link
2.) Magnifying glass
3.) Shorter links

I know this is kind of an old thread but I have a question.

I am trying to show if the port on a switch is up or down, I have included my config,but all of them are green. I know there are no machines plugged into atleast one of the ports.
