Hello

I created a weathermap which is working fine. But I also want to display the Up / Down status of the host in writing in the weathermap as well as the traffic rate. Is it possible if yes then how ?

A search for 'updown' returns this thread, that explains it in detail.

(there have been 4 versions released since that thread!)

It depends on what you mean by "up/down"...

If you want to trust Cacti's down detection then you can do that right now using the cactihost: target, as mentioned in that thread. You'll need weathermap 0.9 or above to get datasource plugin support.

If it's in an RRD, textfile or some external script can fetch it, then there are already datasource plugins for those things. It's often not hard to get data from something dumped into a text file in the right format.

If you have some other monitoring system that you want to get that information from then you would either need to write script that writes a textfile, write a weathermap datasource plugin (not that hard), request one (maybe I'll write it for you), or wait (maybe I'll write it anyway - Nagios, and WUG are planned).
