Here is my latest map. In it I used Howie's example of magnifying glass. Came very handy. Thanks Howie for a great implementation idea!

Here is my latest map creation. I would like to encourage anyone with Weathermaps to post it here, I personally enjoy looking at other people's creation and gathering new ideas.

Where do you all get your device images, like the cisco switches that show all the ports?

Hi,

For Cisco : http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/v ... sting.html

Ch3i.

For Cisco, in weathermap-ready pngs, try here: Right to use Cisco icons (e.g: for Weathermap)

It's old, but they are already transparent png which is useful for weathermap icons.

For others, what I usually do is find visio templates, and you can export a single shape as a png from Visio.

Here's my map.

Hello,

As we have been so inspired by other peoples work on this forum and this thread in particular I thought we would share a few of our weathermaps to hopefully inspire a few others:

Here are two we use to monitor a Cisco 6509-E and an Cisco ASR-1004 we have in the core of our network. Features include:

Cisco 6500:
Interface link status on all ports
Interface traffic – via hovering over each port
Backplane traffic on each blade for each channel in and out – hover graphs
Power usage and power supply redundancy state
Current Threshold Alerts – Pie charts for Backplane Alerts and if any blades have gone offline.
BGP Peer states – including number of flaps, uptime and peer address
Port channel traffic graphs – including hover graphs
Launching PuTTy to host via clickable icon
Cacti Edit host clickable icon
24 hour video playback of the weathermap with previous 30 days archived.
Links to our Netflow frontend for deep packet inspection
Current latency via the smokeping graph – clickable to take you to smokeping for that host
Links to relevant traffic weathermaps – London Core and our UK WAN.
Temp, CPU, and OSPF graphs.

ASR-1004
Many of the above including:
NAT Pool and QOS Threshold Pie charts
QFP Processor load


Scripts used that are found on this website include the QoS Class Map Script Server Query which is a brilliant peice of code - although very intensive on our cacti server.
The backplane utilization graphs are a custom script query created by ourselves, likewise we monitor all customer CGNAT pools using a custom script with data scraped from the CLI as the MIBS on the ASR platform do not support this.

I have just started to my own map yesterday thanks to ikorzha758 http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=54189. help me a lot to understand how it work.

Not finished ( links to do, graph, other infos etc..) but for now i have done switch picture and port for my type of device then i created a map with one of my HP A5500 and A5120 infrastructure with colored interface status.



Edit:

I started to create a new map using my map building from our business incubator. i have created all wall rj45 outlet on the map and with cacti weathermap, i linked each wall outlet with the status port of the switch and the trafic graph for the OVERLIBGRAPH. and an icon with information for each office. ( taking time to do, i have 6 sections like this one to do but at the end will be useful)



Thanks all for your examples, it's help to have some ideas

Here's my VPN under magnifying glass... Thanks for idea i found on this post !

Great map. Can you share config for this map?

Hi guys I'm new to cacti. I want to create a weather map in form of a table like ikorzha758 in the link below

I'll appreciate your help. Thanks.

anyone know if you can iframe to a realtime graph In the actual page without doing a mouse hover.

Thanks
