You don't need to schedule another job. The cacti plugin works as part of the poller.php. You will need to wait for the next poller cycle (up to five minutes) before maps are created, or errors appear in the log, though.
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).

map not displaying the icons.

I'm assuming that the png files go in
<cacti path>/plugins/weathermap/images and that per the docs the syntax is: ICON myimage.png (under node properties )

I am using the CactiCD and GD 2.x is installed.

What am I missing?

Then I don't know how you will do it. There isn't a command line that will run all the maps in the same way as the plugin does. You would have one job per map with something like:

Code: Select all

php.exe c:\path\to\weathermap\ --config configfile.conf --output out.png --htmloutput out.html
but the tab won't work properly then.

Have you tried running the poller.php from the command line to see if you get any error message? (php poller.php) I guess you already have...

Also, what about if you temporarily comment out all the other plugins in the config file? I had a problem where 'report' would crash, and nothing after that was run.

It's working fine for me on two different XAMPP installations, plus however many others.

Either use ICON images/router.png or put the icon images in the weathermap directory (not images). Unless it says otherwise, all paths in the config file are relative to where you ran weathermap from. The alternative is to use an absolute pathname.

I'll make a change in the manual to make it clearer.

It *should* have said something in the log about not being able to load the icon, however.

I assume I have the cacti-picker function configured since I can pick from cacti for links. However there isn't an active link in the node properties dialog box?

I have a building icon on my map and I'd like to make the INFOURL a link to a map of its internal network. How do I go about doing this since the id of that map may change?

Why would the map ID change? They should never get repeated or reused. It's a mysql autoincrement field, which just goes up and up as you add maps. It would only ever change if you deleted the other map and re-added it.

I have added a map in the 'manage weathermaps' screen, and nothing are generated. I've wait for the next poller cycle but there are still no maps created.
I have this message in the Cacti Log File:

WEATHERMAP:poller[0] Weathermap has left the building
WEATHERMAP:poller[0] Weathermap 0.8 in da house

Does anyone know what it means?

Nothing else? Try turning on Cacti DEBUG mode for one cycle.

'in da house' is the very first thing it does during a poller cycle
'left the building' is the very last thing
so that is actually the end of one cycle and the start of the next one, but if that's all you have, turn on DEBUG. You should get some sort of error/warning to explain why nothing is happening (usually it's permissions, if it's doing this little!).

here is what I have on CACTI DEBUG mode after a cycle:

WEATHERMAP:Poller[0] Weathermap has left the building
WEATHERMAP:Poller[0] Iterated all maps.
WEATHERMAP:Poller[0] Iterating all maps.
CMDPHP:Poller[0] DEBUG: SQL Assoc: "select * from weathermap_maps where active='on'"
WEATHERMAP:Poller[0] Engaging Weathermap DEBUG mode
WEATHERMAP:Poller[0] Weathermap 0.8 in da house
