How can I make the Cacti host status works?

[edwardzeng]

I tried to make one of my host icon automatically change to different color
when the host goes down, like Whats Up does.
I follow this document link:

http://www.network-weathermap.com/articles/cacti-host-status

But it dosn't work.

Here is my icon code:

NODE test
LABEL test
INFOURL /cacti/graph.php?rra_id=all&local_graph_id=1433
OVERLIBGRAPH /cacti/graph_image.php?rra_id=0&graph_nolegend=true&graph_height=100&graph_width=300&local_graph_id=1433
ICON images/ball_{node:this:state}.png
TARGET cactihost:33
USESCALE none in
POSITION 250 50

I have created 4 version icons: ball_up.png, ball_down.png, ball_disabled.png, ball_recovering.png

but when I rebuild the map, the icon was missing???

Appreciated for your information.

This really belongs in the Weathermap section.

Did you put your images in the <cactiroot>/images directory or in the <cactiroot>/plugins/weathermap/images directory?

They belong inside the weathermap.

(could you perhaps wait more than 15 minutes before e-mailing me directly too? )

Check the cacti.log

It will tell you if weathermap can't find the file, and what filename it is looking for. If the filename contains [unknown], then the cactihost plugin didn't set the state variable properly. If it doesn't then you know where you should have put your files.
