Weathermap - Cacti 1.x compatible release available for testing

[phalek]

HI All,

I've rewritten the 0.98a version of Weathermap to run on a Cacti 1.x ( tested on 1.2.8, Linux and Windows versions ) system. There have been no new features and it may not be compatible with all themes but it should be working just fine.

Please have a go at this version and post back any issues you find within this thread.

Update: Contains the URL fix reported

Are you doing this in a git repo?

[phalek]

Nope. But that file is currently the latest Version.

I can create a github repo though if you like ?

[Howie]

Nope, no need - I'll diff to see if it could be used with the current version (quite a big difference)

Great that this exists though!

found a small bug so far

when you click on manage network weather maps there is a " at the end of the url

/cacti/plugins/weathermap/weathermap-cacti-plugin-mgmt.php"

should be

/cacti/plugins/weathermap/weathermap-cacti-plugin-mgmt.php

[bmfmancini]

modify this line to correct it

print '<p>To add a map to the schedule, go to the <a href=' . $config[ 'url_path' ] . 'plugins/weathermap/weathermap-cacti-plugin-mgmt.php">Manage...Weathermaps page</a> and add one.</p>';

TO

print '<p>To add a map to the schedule, go to the <a href=' . $config[ 'url_path' ] . 'plugins/weathermap/weathermap-cacti-plugin-mgmt.php>Manage...Weathermaps page</a> and add one.</p>';

All fixed

[phalek]

Updated the code and uploaded it. Initial post has been updated with the new url.

I fixed that live on my customers system but forgot to add it to the code on my own PC Probably need to upload it to github anyway ...

[bmfmancini]

Yes ! please upload to github would be nice to work toegther on this as its a real gap in cacti right now

thank you everyone for the effort. I have tested on Cacti 1.1.38, Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and so far it is working as expected. No bug found yet.

Hello

Thanks for porting. I tested it with my installation and found the following.

• The image for "button_go.gif" in the File /weathermap-cacti-plugin.php (LIne 802) is no longer available in Cacti version 1.2.8.
  => You can use "enable_icon.png" for that.

• With version 7 of PHP there is another error message that does not apply in the logbook.

  "WEATHERMAP [Map 1] sample.conf: About to write image file. If this is the last message in your log, increase memory_limit in php.ini [WMPOLL01]".

  My memory_limit in the php.ini is 800M. So much should be enough for a small map?

But otherwise everything is going well. Thanks again for customizing.

MfG
Leo

This message has been there for years... the key part is If this is the last message

Basically, when PHP hits its memory_limit, it just dies, so this is just before the point where weathermap will use a bunch of memory. If it isn't the last message for that particular run, you are all good. This was mainly an issue with older PHP versions where the default memory_limit was 16M. 128M is usually plenty.

How can I debug it if it is the last message?
For me, the message always comes last, right after the MAP message.
I didn't find anything in the instructions/FAQ.
Here the Log:

Cacti helpfully shows messages in reverse order. The two above it in your screenshot are after it, if you look at the times. i.e. the map was actually written. You can confirm by looking at the file dates in the output/ folder.

What issue are you actually seeing?
