Which parts of weathermap cause you problems? Is it the installation? or designing maps? or something else?

I spent a lot of time writing the manual, and you aren't the only one asking, so I'd like to fill in whatever people think is missing in the manual. I feel this is as much of a bug as the program itself not working.
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.

Since I don't know you ;-) Can you explain how that is different from the first section of the manual? (the one with the installation guide, followed by Basics, followed by an example map). Isn't that it? I want to fix this if it isn't.

If you can get it into an RRDtool file, or a text file, then it can be mapped. The only problem is that you will get two arrows still.

I would probably start by looking at the SmokePing template on this forum, to get the latency data. Then you can use the 'BWLABEL unformatted' link option in your map to have weathermap print the data from the rrd, and not a Mbit value.

http://wotsit.thingy.com/haj/cacti/php- ... NK_BWLABEL

I guess you would use the same DS name for both in and out values, like:

Code: Select all

TARGET your-smokeping-data.rrd:ave:ave
(I'm guessing what the DS names are, but you can see they are both the same)

This would be nicer if there was a one-way arrow, but there isn't currently. I know other people use this type of setup to map things like OSPF/IS-IS metric values.

No I can't. I don't use the SmokePing template. You would be able to use the editor for it.
