I just updated to weathermap 0.95a and now my logs are filling up with errors like this:

Looking at the config, I do not have a bandwidth statement, I only have this:

Quote:
LINK DEFAULT
ARROWSTYLE classic
BWLABEL bits


I have separate bandwidth statements for each link, either BANDWIDTH 100M or BANDWIDTH 1000M. The link to 2205 above is the only 1000M link I have, all others are 100M.

Can anyone tell me what exactly I'm doing wrong? I appreciate the help.

Your scale starts at 1%, and the percentage usage is less than 1%

The default bandwidth is 100M on links, but that's not really relevant. The point is that your DEFAULT scale doesn't cover the full range from 0-100%. Probably what you want is something like:

# grey for absolute 0 traffic
SCALE 0 0 192 192 192
# change the first 'real' SCALE line to start from 0 instead of 1
SCALE 0 20 255 0 255

Shouldn't that first scale statement =:
SCALE 0 1 192 192 192

So that from 0 to 1% is grey, otherwise it seems to read that only 0.0% would be affected, 0-1% wouldn't be covered by a scale.

Well it's up to you. As I said in the comments, my suggestion was to seperate out 0.0% as a special case, and extend the next band so that it starts at 0, so 0-1% is covered.

OK, now that I've RTFM, I see how the whole scale thing works. I have changed the scales on all my configs to this:

Quote:
SCALE 0 1 192 192 192
SCALE 1 25 0 240 0
SCALE 26 50 240 240 0
SCALE 51 75 255 192 0
SCALE 76 100 255 0 0


Now, everything is running great.

Thanks for the info.

Not quite. If you had a 25.5% or 50.5% or 75.5% it wouldn't be covered again. There needs to be no gap between the scale lines. But you're on the right track

Dangit. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

Actually, I ended up not being happy with the larger gaps between colors so I'm revisiting the scale thing. I will keep your advice in mind.

Thanks for the help.

Is there anyone out there that would be willing to post their SCALE configs? I'm just looking for options that would do the job and look decent.

Thanks.

Ah, never mind. My biggest issue was deciphering the color codes but I just found this site that really helps: http://www.pitt.edu/~nisg/cis/web/cgi/rgb.html.

Here's what I use for most of mine:
Code:

SCALE DEFAULT 0 0   120 120 120
SCALE DEFAULT 0 20   0 0 255   0 255 255
SCALE DEFAULT 20 40   0 255 255   0 255 0
SCALE DEFAULT 40 70   0 255 0   255 255 0
SCALE DEFAULT 70 100   255 255 0   255 0 0


Those are almost all 'gradient' lines, so between 0 and 20, the colour fades nicely from 0,0,255 (pure blue) to 0,255,255 (cyan). Looks nice along with:
Code:

KEYPOS DEFAULT 730 320 Traffic Load
KEYSTYLE  DEFAULT vertical 230

to make the legend into a continuous bar instead of the default 'steps' one.

Ahh, this is the kind of thing I was looking for.

Thanks very much.
