How to get a Device's Latency on Weathermap

[davebyrne]

Hey all,

So of course I know all about getting data from graph'd rrd files etc, for device health and traffic flow etc. But Cacti has the devices latency listed in the Device section. This apparently isn't graph'd, and being honest nor do I want it to be. I have SmokePing for that.

BUT... It would be really handy if there was an easy way to pull the Cacti native device latency into a Weathermap as a data point. (Without getting a custom graph template for graphing ping response latency and graphing it).

Any ideas??
Thanks.

The cactihost: datasource plugin is your new friend!

You should be able to use

Code: Select all

NODE thing1
   TARGET cactihost:33
  LABEL {node:this:cacti_curtime}ms
  # position etc skipped

(where 33 is the device ID)

Ooooh, thankyou

That looks ideal.

(You can also read data from your Smokeping rrd files if you wanted, too, if they are visible from the weathermap host)

I am sorry that I write in such an old thread.
The method is very convenient and it works great.
For some reason I cannot make scale to work correctly.

I have this scale :
SCALE PING 0 0 192 192 192
SCALE PING 0 10 0 255 0
SCALE PING 10 20 255 255 0
SCALE PING 20 100 255 0 0

And I use it in node as absolute.

But it always stays green no matter what the value is.
