Use Wheatermap as IFRAME in PRTG Monitoring Maps

New Features
#1

Hi,

We used wheatermap long time together with nagios and cacti but we changed last year our Monitoring to PRTG from Paessler. So far a simple and easy Interface and also with great maps. But there is no Chance to get a Network wheater map from them… But they provide an API Interface so this is how i get here to the Forum.

my idea is to use the data from the api who can return an XML or a json to use as data inside the Network wheater map… any idea if this case will be simple?

the json Looks like this:
{
“prtgversion”: “17.4.33.3283+”,
“sensordata”: {
“name”: “ifc22 (Slot: 1 Port: 22) - 100 MBit/s”,
“sensortype”: “snmptraffic 64bit”,
“interval”: “60”,
“probename”: “ZWL-PRTG-PRB1”,
“parentgroupname”: “Testing”,
“parentdevicename”: “Iost_001_5520 (192.168.152.153) [RMON]”,
“parentdeviceid”: “30704”,
“lastvalue”: “-”,
“lastmessage”: “Pausiert durch überg. Objekt”,
“favorite”: “false”,
“statustext”: “Pausiert (Pausiert durch überg. Objekt)”,
“statusid”: “7”,
“lastup”: “43122.6167475347 [liegt 47 Std. 7 Min. zurück]”,
“lastdown”: “-”,
“lastcheck”: “43122.6167475347 [liegt 47 Std. 7 Min. zurück]”,
“uptime”: “100.0000%”,
“uptimetime”: “25 Min. 39 Sek.”,
“downtime”: “0.0000%”,
“downtimetime”: “0 Sek.”,
“updowntotal”: “25 Min. 39 Sek. [=0% Abdeckung]”,
“updownsince”: “43118.4181715278 [liegt 6 Tg. 3 Std. 53 Min. zurück]”,
“info”: “remoteprobe”
}
}

and the XML like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I don’t see any bandwidth data in there, so I would guess it’s pretty hard :slight_smile:

Maybe ‘lastvalue’ is supposed to be the bandwidth?

Anyway, writing a data source plugin for weathermap isn’t too hard if you know some php. I think I’d recommend the json option, just because the parsing is simpler. Have a look at a basic DS plugin to see how it is supposed to work - the ‘static’ one is the simplest.

right! i’ve used in example a paused device…
it Looks like this with the value:
“lastvalue”: “11 Mbit/Sek.”,

I saw that i can get other forma like this:
{“prtg-version”:“17.4.33.3283”,“treesize”:0,“channels”:[{“name”:“Ausfallzeit”,“lastvalue”:"",“lastvalue”:"",“lastvalue_raw”:""},{“name”:“Datenverkehr ausgehend”,“lastvalue”:“40 MByte”,“lastvalue_raw”:41781455.0000,“lastvalue”:“5.57 Mbit/Sek.”,“lastvalue_raw”:696241.5431},{“name”:“Datenverkehr eingehend”,“lastvalue”:“65 MByte”,“lastvalue_raw”:68146622.0000,“lastvalue”:“9.08 Mbit/Sek.”,“lastvalue_raw”:1135587.7687},{“name”:“Summe”,“lastvalue”:“105 MByte”,“lastvalue_raw”:109928077.0000,“lastvalue”:“15 Mbit/Sek.”,“lastvalue_raw”:1831829.3118}]}

also with raw values…

i will take a look, sadly i don’t have a lot of php Knowledge… maybe someone out there can help me with this (offcourse with a donation!)
