Hi All,

I don't know if this is possible allready but like a graph, you can select a time and see the data of that time.

If this could be possible the do with weathermap, you can for example easely determin if there was a peak in traffic between hosts what hosts caused it.

Maybe an idea to make an archive of the maps.
I just wanted to know if other people allready have this befor I start some coding of my own (beginner;-))

regards,
KyRoo

You might like to take a look at http://www.network-weathermap.com/articles/animation this article about animation, which uses a similar approach.

The second way to do it is to alter the 'rrd_start' variable for the whole map: SET rrd_start -1d (for 1 day back)

This is described in the http://www.network-weathermap.com/manual/latest/pages/targets.html#rrd TARGET reference in the manual.

Beware that unless you have changed the structure of your rrd files, you will see the same averaging for historical data that cacti shows in it's graphs, so spikey traffic will get rounded off over time (sometimes as little as a day).
