[Observium] Using PHP Weathermap with Observium

Discussion:

Markus Klock

2014-07-15 19:17:17 UTC

Hello!
We are migrating from Cacti to Observium and it was a great experience, the
only thing we lacked were the weathermap plugin for getting that nice
network overview.
I then found that Neil Lathwood wrote a modified version of the PHP
Weathermap that works with Observium data, you can find it on his github:
https://github.com/laf/weathermap

I wrote a quick and dirty script that adds the weathermaps to the Observium
menu without modifying Observium-code so that it will not break when
updating Observium.
It works really well so I wrote a little guide for how you get the
weathermap to work with Observium and posted it here:
http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/07/using-php-weathermap-with-observium.html
In case there are more people interested in using the weathermap with
Observium :)

Hi Markus,

This is great !!! we also started using that modified version of
weathermap by Neil Lathwood sometime back, this will be a great addition
to that.

Thanks a lot for your effort on this.

Regards,
Supun.

Hi Markus,

I did pretty much the same thing and added a link to the editor as well.

function make_menu_item($url,$name,$icon)
{
$string='<li><a href="' . $url . '"> ' . $name . ' </a></li>';
return $string;
}

$data = file_get_contents('/opt/observium/html/weathermap/editor.php');
if(strpos($data, 'ENABLED=true;') !== FALSE)
{
echo make_menu_item('/weathermap/editor.php','Weathermap editor','oicon-globe-model');
}
else
{
echo make_menu_item('https://observium.sidn.nl','Weathermap editor disabled by config!','oicon-globe-model');
}

Met vriendelijke groet, kind regards,

Erwin Heringa

Oh, thats great!
Was thinking of adding the editor too.
I was gonna start look in to if it was easy to modify the editor to look
for the authed user level in observium instead of the
ENABLED=false/true-thing.
Like you will only be able to access the editor if you are logged in as a
level 10 user, and it will only appear in the menu then.

To hide it in the menu is pretty easy, I think you only need to add a:
if ($_SESSION['userlevel'] >= 10)
to your code and the menu will only appear for admin users :)

Security note for that: if you only hide the link for <10 and not
actually secure it in the code itself, anyone can still surf to the url
and get the page content, even though you did not show the link in the
menu ;)

Yeah, editor.php still needs to be modified somehow to use observium
session auth, that is a little more tricky I guess :)

If I copy the navbar-custom.inc.php from the weathermap directory to that
includes directory, Observium doesn't even load the interface properly...

Hello Markus,

We are migrating from Cacti to Observium and it was a great
experience, the only thing we lacked were the weathermap plugin for
getting that nice network overview.
I then found that Neil Lathwood wrote a modified version of the PHP
Weathermap that works with Observium data, you can find it on his
github: https://github.com/laf/weathermap [1] [1]

I wrote a quick and dirty script that adds the weathermaps to the
Observium menu without modifying Observium-code so that it will not
break when updating Observium.
It works really well so I wrote a little guide for how you get the
weathermap to work with Observium and posted it here:
http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/07/using-php-weathermap-with-observium.html [2]
[2]

In case there are more people interested in using the weathermap with
Observium :)

Maybe it's just me, but I do not have a /opt/observium/html/include/ directory, shouldn't that be includes?

If I copy the navbar-custom.inc.php from the weathermap directory to that includes directory, Observium doesn't even load the interface properly...

It doesn't look like it has any graph forced directed layout type
capabilities.

I assume such algorithms in client-side or server side would be do-able...

Getting something useful and sensible would probably take some hard-yards
in both design and implementation.

Ahh, sorry :-)

I didn't see a good way of keeping this backwards compatible unfortunately.

Creating a menu entry or even an entirely new menu should be a lot
easier now though.

Updated the navbar-custom to work with the new navbar syntax. Great work
Tom, a lot easier to create menus now :)
CE and everyone using older than r5670 should still use the old one.
r5670 and later should use:

Markus,

Are you sure it works? There's a ?> on line 6 that doesn't seem to be right.

Easier creation of menus was the idea indeed. The navbar code itself
still is large because of all the conditionals but at least we've cut
down significantly on "confusing" html code :)

Updated the navbar-custom to work with the new navbar syntax. Great
work Tom, a lot easier to create menus now :)
CE and everyone using older than r5670 should still use the old one.

Hello Markus,
We are migrating from Cacti to Observium and it was a great
experience, the only thing we lacked were the weathermap plugin for
getting that nice network overview.
I then found that Neil Lathwood wrote a modified version of the PHP
Weathermap that works with Observium data, you can find it on his
github: https://github.com/laf/weathermap [2] [1] [1]
I wrote a quick and dirty script that adds the weathermaps to the
Observium menu without modifying Observium-code so that it will not
break when updating Observium.
It works really well so I wrote a little guide for how you get the

Observium will only monitor and alert stuff that is pollable using SNMP. The kinds of things you want to monitor don't meet that criteria so Observium won't be able do what you want natively. You might, however, be able to run snmpd locally on the boxes that are running the services that you are interested in monitoring and use HOST-RESOURCES-MIB accordingly.

I don't know if Observium can alert based on HOST-RESOURCES-MIB stuff though. Never tried.
