My home network : a pfSense firewall, a LAN with a WLAN, a DMZ, two remote sites connected via OpenVPN

(There is a little problem with the bandwidth usage on the WLAN link)

How did you get pfsense to break out the traffic between the 2 vpn tunnels? On mine, I only see enc0, that only gives me the total for my 3 tunnels.

No, the VPN traffic values are provided by the other end equipments, which are SNMP enabled wireless routers running OpenWrt...

Simple network map. I'd like to make one to show the flow of email, but I'm not sure how. :(

Here is one of mine. I use this to monitor temperature, humidity and power consumption on a per rack basis in one of our comms room.

how did you put link comments inside the link rather than above?

So been using cacti for a few weeks now, this is the result so far. Going to be expanding in the future to cover more data.

Feel free to use as an example.

Cisco SAN weathermaps

Post by cjlove72 »

I have created two levels of Weathermaps for our Cisco MDS SAN infrastructure.

The higher level view shows the SAN topology and the throughput in MB/sec to each of our storage/backup devices.

For each MDS switch, you can click on it and it drops you into another weathermap which shows the port status (Green for Up and Red for Down) along with the throughput as indicated by the label background.

Fantastic product...keep up the good work :-)

Cheers,

Chris

hi there,
a bit away from the network-savvy-world we use weathermap for some server farms as well. Don´t mind the german legend :).

I did these after I was kind of inspired by cjlove72's maps. They each show port status, Green is up, grey is down, as well as hover overs for traffic on each port. For the "Control Switches" I'll be adding some indicators for their Ring Status and Ring Forward/Block Status.

This is a PM that I received from another member. I'm only posting it here so that others may learn from the response as well.
Subject: question about weathemap

Hi. i have question about your map switch. how you make a map with indicate port status?
i know IF-mib but i don't know how i use it for weathemap switch. can you tell me about it?
If you do a search in the Weathermap area of this forum for 'ifOperStatus' you'll find a couple of threads that discuss the matter as well as a link to some templates that you can import into your cacti.

The basic way to do the switch port status is you'd need to create a graph that looks at the 'ifOperStatus' OID which is already in the interface.xml file, but isn't used normally. Once you have it graphing the status then you can create your maps.

The way I did it, I took the Visio objects for each of my switches and made them the background of the map. Then I placed a NODE on each switch port and labeled them accordingly. The internal name was A1,A2,A3 etc, and the actual label name was 01,02,03 etc. I then changed the default scale to only have the green and grey colors.

Here's a snippet from one of the configs which shows the scale, my default NODE settings an example of the port. That should be enough to get you going.

Code: Select all

SCALE DEFAULT 0 1.5   0 255 0
SCALE DEFAULT 1.5 2.5   127 127 127

SET key_hidezero_DEFAULT 1

# End of global section


# TEMPLATE-only NODEs:
NODE DEFAULT
        LABELOUTLINECOLOR none
        LABELBGCOLOR none
        LABELFONTCOLOR 0 0 0
        MAXVALUE 100


# TEMPLATE-only LINKs:
LINK DEFAULT
        BANDWIDTH 100M


# regular NODEs:
NODE BL1
        LABEL 01
        INFOURL /graph.php?rra_id=all&local_graph_id=301
        OVERLIBGRAPH /graph_image.php?rra_id=0&graph_nolegend=true&graph_height$
        TARGET gauge:/var/www/html/rra/{your own filename}.rrd:int_status:-
        POSITION 111 289

You could also avoid making a special background by using a node for each switch, and then using the ZORDER command (in 0.96) to push it below the other nodes. You could then also use relative positioning of the port nodes, so that the whole lot is easily moveable).

ZORDER would also allow you to have a link that goes from a port-node, but above the switch image, without needing a special background.
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!)
