Howie... over on your site you show some example mpgs... and in them are some "normal" graphs (CPU etc). How do you embed normal cacti graphs into the weathermap ?

Code: Select all

NODE randomicon
    POSITION 100 100
    ICON /path/to/the/graph/image/file

Done Nodes don't have to be things on your network.

In fact, those little graphs are made using my Sparklines script (see the thingy.com link in my sig). The script is a little raw though, and needs a few Perl modules to get going.

To do it with Cacti graphs, I guess you'd need to use the Graph Export function, or some kind of script to fetch the graph or generate it yourself with 'rrdtool graph'.

Ok thanks I'll look into it.. I guess it can't be a URL??

Oh BTW: An old gripe I had from way back still seems to be there, in that the "normal" logging, produces 5-6 lines in the Cacti log every iteration.. It'd be nice to have a flag to change that to 'errors only' or something..

I don't think so. Then again some parts of PHP can transparently load URLs instead of files, so it might be worth trying.

Yep, I remember. I did start looking at it, and got distracted. I'll try and sort it for 0.91.

This change is in 0.91
