Embed Iframe in weathmap area to show without hovering

[frostyritz]

I was trying to find a way to embed a HTML section on the page like a live dashboard/realtime stats With the weathermap already there like a iframe of little realtime graphs to show throughput.


thanks

Im trying to do something more like every 10 seconds auto refresh some data to have more Realtime effect.

But instead of NOTES XXXX (iframe hover over as i saw from another post) could I do something like embed the same jquery Iframe concept for LABEL or ICON.

kinda like this
ICON /<iframe width=\"400px\" height=\"350px\" src=\"/plugins/weathermap/realtimedata.php?node={node:this:cactiid}\"> </iframe>

first i thought maybe iframe this
http://1.1.1.1/cacti/plugins/realtime/g ... h_id=24741

But then i was thinking to get more creative with a realtime data since i need to aggregate traffic/stats/healthchecks not exactly this one but something similar.

I did something like this to convert a script and go to png and then weathermap. (an cron script but thats only 5 min for stats)

ifconfig | convert -background black -fill white \
-font Helvetica -pointsize 14 \
label:@- cmd.png

though what if i also did somehow built a gif image somehow. Would it show a gif image or is it purely static thumbnail that weathermap shows.

Thanks

or could there be a way to update weathermaps faster then 5 min like once every minute to refrence some static images that i can change every 45 seconds though it would be cool to throw a GIF that might change too.

I decided it might be interesting to apporach this from the other direction, instead of adding very specific extras to weathermap. So I started writing a jquery app that lets you position stuff on the page using the CSS, and then reloads each element periodically, according to the periods and URLs that you set. I'll update if I get it working!

I created a repo here for it: https://github.com/howardjones/simple-js-dashboard

Note: it will only update from the same server (say the Cacti server) where the script was originally fetched from, without some server-side proxy script in PHP or similar.

I got this working today. I'll do a proper write-up and a download for it later, but in this attachment, the two graphs and the uptime are overlaid in other img or div tags, and the javascript reloads each according to its own schedule. Limitations:
1) It all has to come from the same server, unless you write a proxy script for the 'long distance' links
2) For a realtime graph overlay to work, the realtime popup window must remain open, or the realtime poller process doesn't update the data.
3) You can't just use the realtime popup's url as a source URL. That gets you a validation error from cacti. You might be able to have the script load an iframe, but you could do that without the script anyway.

The way I'd use this is as a content page in Superlinks, personally, because that should mean that the Cacti user stays logged in too.

OH haha i thought of actually using superlinks to embed a page of some sort but love the weathermap organizaion of node/links that i generate since i built only 1 master template i call it and then i plug in the data to my script and poll all diffect RRDs/Links etc etc with it

oh so we cant just embed directly in a NODE/ICON . Cool ill see about trying that out might be kinda interesting if i place it i have 8 graphs on one page so maybe iframes hehe but easier to control on that scenario.
