node color change (up/down) wathermap on libreNMS

[AMIRarama]

Hi Guys
i have weathermap plugin on librenms installed and working.
i want to be able to change the nodes/links color or icon based on the device status (up/down).
i understood that in librenms it's more complicated because there is no target or info on .rrd files?
i'm pretty new to this world.
Thanks in advanced,

i tried to use fping datasource

so i did
# a scale for loss - 0=green, <30% yellow, >=30% red
SCALE updown 0 0 0 255 0
SCALE updown 0 30 255 255 0
SCALE updown 30 100 255 0 0
(took from howie another post)

under the node config i did:
TARGET fping:hostname
USESCALE updown out

i used out because i understood the fping out gives the packet loss percentage.
the thing is the node label colored green and stays green all the time, no matter if the node respond to ping or not.
i'm not sure where i'm wrong ?

If you are after weathermaps support on other platforms, you will be better off using the weathermaps forums.

Also, running from the command-line with --debug will give you a lot more log output, including what data the datasource plugin is getting.

[AMIRarama]

Which command exactly should i run with --debug ?

[Howie]

Weathermap.

./weathermap —debug —config mymap.conf

[AMIRarama]

Weathermap.

./weathermap —debug —config mymap.conf

Thank you Howie, what an amazing tool.
first it was wrong path of fping and i fixed it. but now, that .html link to the map isn't loading at all. looks like the browser can't display that, so i see it like a blank square with a small image icon at the up left. and that's it.

this is the relevant debug for the host i added the fping + scale.
can you tell me what is wrong?

if i just run fping -t100 -r1 -p20 -u -C 5 -i20 -q hostname 2>&1
i either get response time:
1.32 0.44 0.46 0.45 0.51

or either get this:
- - - - if there is no response

i don't get the values of packet loss in percentage as i wanted to

[Howie]

Weathermap counts the '-' results, and uses that to calculate the packet loss.

Later on in that log, you can see it's returning 0,100 - i.e. 100% packet loss, because fping returned "- - - - -"

Right at the end, you can also see that it selected 'ff0000' - that is red - as the final colour for the out scale.
