Weathermap editor

Post by rothchild »

I have used the web weathermap editor to create maps succesfully but the menu for selecting grpahs and images say nothing is available. Have I missed configuring something? Im using Cactiez and the weathermap plugin came with it.
Thanks!

The images dropdown list will show any images already referred to in your config file, plus any .png files in the plugins/weathermap/images subdirectory on the server. Do you have anything in there?

The graph selection relies on the right path for cacti in editor-config.inc.php

I've never used CactiEZ, so I don't know if these are setup out of the box...
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

Right out of the box, Weathermap works fine, but I don't believe there are any images in your default images folder. I created my own images that I got from Visio. There is a thread here with a compilation of images that can be used with Weathermap.

I have used the editor from CactiEZ and it works fine as well. The only real issue is what we've seen before which is the modifications needed in the php.ini file.

There's also a bunch of converted Cisco icons on my site (link in the sig) with transparent backgrounds which some people like to use with weathermap. I find them ugly, myself, but that's just me :-)

Another useful place for icons is the Nagios site.

I agree, those are quite ugly, that's why I used the ones out of Visio, but I don't think that I can supply them to the teaming masses due to licensing issues. Since I have my own license for Visio, I dont' think it's an issue to put them on my own Map.

I even made a really cool one for a Cacti Server.
