Icons not changes when node down/up

[EAleg]

No node icons change, I would like to know why. I set everything up as in the instructions.

When node down the icon must changes in red ball, when up in green. But something wrong (node always green)... Who knows why? Thank you for answers!

Two things

1) you have two nodes, each with a different scale, and each scale only has one entry.

2) you have an ICON line which just links to an image. It will always show the same image for the icon.

If this wasn't a screenshot, I would have rewritten it for you, but you at least want to make ONE scale (both SCALE lines with the same name, both USESCALE lines with that name). After that, you should have node labels that change colour.

To change the colour of an ICON is more complex though. The first few posts here are about that: viewtopic.php?t=47809

[Howie]

ALSO - very important #3: You don't have any TARGET line for these NODEs!

Weathermap collects data and changes it into colours. You have not told it where to get data from. It doesn't know that these nodes are supposed to be routers in Cacti. Again, the link above has an example.

and i dont have rrd, i use librenms )=

[EAleg]

And can u tell me, what is the value, this is speed?

Where 0 0.5, 0.5 1.5 and etc

SCALE cactiupdown 0 0.5 192 192 192 disabled
SCALE cactiupdown 0.5 1.5 255 0 0 down
SCALE cactiupdown 1.5 2.5 0 0 255 recovering
SCALE cactiupdown 2.5 3.5 0 255 0 up
SCALE cactiupdown 4.5 5.5 128 128 128 unknown

[Howie]

No, it's the status in the cacti database. Not much use to you.

Also, you still have two scales.

SCALE updown 0 0 75 0 130 down
SCALE updown 4.5 5.5 128 128 128 up

NODE xxcvx
USESCALE updown

I think you are missing the basic idea here. Weathermap fetches numbers from TARGETs. It translates those numbers into colours using a SCALE, and then draws nodes and links in those colours. So you need to supply it with a number that is the state of your node, and you do that with a TARGET. "TARGET 5" doesn't mean anything - you will be getting errors in your logs. SCALEs usually have multiple lines, to decide which colour to use based on the value. But the first, and most important thing: you need to define what it means for a node to be down, and how you are going to get that value.

Maybe this is speed? let it be 0 0 - down, 1 - 100 - up. do you think it will go?

OMG, i found rrd

And, here is, but.. my node not down -_-

why red, if my NODE is up

What data is in ./192.168.118.134/port-id2.rrd?

(i am guessing you are getting warnings about DS names in your logs right now, too)

The data from which port the info is transmitted.
Did I write the configuration correctly?

It depends on the structure of the rrd file. There are named "data sources" inside an rrd file, chosen by the application that writes the file. By default, Weathermap will be expecting traffic_in and traffic_out. It's unlikely to be the same in librenms. But Weathermap logs an error if it can't find data, which is why I said look in the logs.

And still, what is the data? traffic? interface state? error rate? something else?

Hi Howie, m-m-m traffic. What about config above? Is that right?

[Howie]

The scale probably is - it will show a red label when traffic gets to 0.

[EAleg]

yep, when traffic - 0 node red, but when traffic up - node all the same red.
