You may ever wanted NagVis to display nice weathermap style lines?</p> + + <h2>More colorful lines</h2> + <img style="margin:20px;" src="../general/img/sample-weathermap.jpg" align="right" alt="NagVis Weathermap style lines" /> + <p>Since NagVis 1.5 it is possible to draw such weathermap style lines which + can have more than three colors depending on the current load of e.g. the + network interface you like to visualize. There can be a wide color range + of e.g. seven different colors. Take a look at the example image - isn't that beautiful?.</p> + + <h2>Focus on bandwidth visualization</h2> + <p>The new lines are focused on bandwidth visualization. Since NagVis needs to parse the + performance data to gather the current color for the line there are special requirements + on the performance data contents. There is a bandwidth measurement plugin for Nagios which + comes with the correct performance data informations out of the box. It is downloadable + from <a href="http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Network-Connections%2C-Stats-and-Bandwidth/check_iftraffic3/details"; target="_blank">Nagios Exchange</a>.</p> + + <h2>Weathermap line types</h2> + <p>The weathermap style lines currently provide two types of lines:</p> + <ul> + <li><code>---%--><--%----</code>: Arrows with percentage labels in the middle of the line.</li> + <li><code>---%+BW--><--%+BW---</code>: Arrows with percentage labels in the middle of the line and additional labels which display the current bandwidth usage.</li> + </ul> + + <h2>How to create weathermap lines?</h2> + <p>To create weathermap style lines in NagVis you need services which send the correct + performance data to Nagios. If you got some simply place a line service object on the + map and choose the correct line type. Now take a look at your map - it should work now.</p> + + <p>You may want to have a legend which shows you the meaning of the different colors. + No problem. Simply add a shape to your map and choose the "demo_traffic_load_legend" + shape which is delivered with the NagVis core package.</p> + + <p>Thanks to gjfrater for implementing these lines!</p> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/docs/en_US/toc.html b/docs/en_US/toc.html index d7cc08f..4c68527 100644 --- a/docs/en_US/toc.html +++ b/docs/en_US/toc.html @@ -45,6 +45,7 @@ <dd><a href="context_templates.html" target="Main"><strong>Context Templates</strong></a></dd> <dd><a href="header_templates.html" target="Main"><strong>Header Templates</strong></a></dd> <dd><a href="hover_templates.html" target="Main"><strong>Hover Templates</strong></a></dd> + <dd><a href="lines_weathermap_style.html" target="Main"><strong>Weathermap Lines</strong></a> <font style="color:#ff0000;">*</font></dd> <dt><br /><strong>Extending</strong></dt> <dd><a href="extending/iconsets.html" target="Main"><strong>Add own Iconsets</strong></a></dd> diff --git a/docs/general/img/sample-weathermap.jpg b/docs/general/img/sample-weathermap.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3eeac9e Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/general/img/sample-weathermap.jpg differ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
