How to pin graph to background?

[mlodziak]

Hi,
I have problem with the graph on background in Weathermap plugin. I can't pin the graph to background. Can you tell me how I should do it? Step by step, please.

You make a node, and use the graph image file as its ICON.

How do you get a graph as an image file? Cacti has an option called Graph Export that will save selected graphs to a file automatically.

Ok, but what to do to graph has been refreshed?

The graph export updates the file after every poll, and weathermap updates the map after every poll, so it should update OK.

Ok, thanks. I hope it will work

Howie,
Which link should I use?
"10.0.0.1/cacti/graph_image.php?action=view&local_graph_id=22&rra_id=1"
or
"/var/lib/cacti/rra/device_traffic_in_22.rrd"

For the icon, you can't use a link. You use the filename of the saved image file. That's why you need to set up Cacti's graph export function.
