i was wondering if the weathermap is setup properly to update with the new cron system
i have a 10 sec poller setup and the weathermap gets updated every 5 min instead of 10 sec.
in settings i do have map rendering interval set to every poller cycle
in the cacti log file i see this

I couldn't figure out how the new polling stuff worked, so I haven't tested it at all. It doesn't even seem to be mentioned in the manual.

Weathermap runs from the poller_bottom plugin hook. If poller_bottom doesn't get called after every poller cycle with fast polling, then there's not a huge amount that can be done... it doesn't look at the time, just the number of cycles, so you're right - 'every poller cycle' should do it.

Hiowie,

If we need another hook, or need to modify it, please let Jimmy know. I will forward this topic to him as well.

I don't know, do we?

Does poller_bottom still run every cycle with fast polling? I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't, but I'm no expert on the Cacti internals.

As I said, I haven't managed to get 1-minute polling to work - it seemed to require a lot of manual work to set up.

From the look of this post, it seems that it might be a problem with PIA 1.3, which is fixed in 1.4, available now for Cacti 0.8.7a.

Please retry with that version, assuming you have also upgraded to 'a'.

Hi,

I have the same problem. My poller runs every 10 sec. Weathermaps onlt get updated every 5 minutes. Also the weathermap page does not refresh automatically. Did you solve this problem?

the new plugin architecture v1.4 and cacti update (0.8.7a) fixes this
thanks for all the hard work.
