Monitor hack and better weathermap tab

chadd

I needed to change the Monitor plugin just a bit for my employer, so here is the code - in case anyone would like it. I have included a screenshot as well. I also fixed my weathermap tab, so it matches the others. That is also attached.

The changes to monitor are three columns in the host table of the database.

- monitor_location (physical location of the device).
- monitor_purpose (the purpose, or applications running on the device).
- monitor_priority (the importance of the device).

Also, the view has changed to accommodate the idea of 'priority'.

Whole idea here was that manager types could quickly look at a page and know what servers in our data center were down in case of an outage, so we could get the 'high priority' ones back up quickly.

May not be useful to most, but maybe someone can use the code.

WARNING: I did not integrate this functionality into the existing code in a 'view' or something - like I have seen. In interest of time, I just gutted the code and modified what I needed.

Feel free to use it as you will.

found a bug.. Line number 179 of monitor.php needs an '$x++;'.

Chadd - nice changes. have you had a look at the modified monitor plugin over on cactiusers.org ? Would be great if you could merge your changes into this one (I ask, because I'm using this modified version).

What is actually different about the weathermap tab?

I thought the same thing...

The weathermap tab which came with the plugin had some kind of transparency problem, that made the 'transparent' part look bad in IE6. I personally don't use Windows myself

, but everyone else in my company does - so I noticed. Maybe this was fix a while back and I never got the new image... Either way, that was the problem.

As far as merging the changes I made into the one that is currently on the cactiuser.org forums - I will make an attempt if I get the time. I am very busy right now, which is why I didn't do it like that in the first place. Thanks for you comments.
