I know a lot of companies donвЂ™t have any way to do this (вЂњpay for free things?вЂќ) вЂ“ if you happen to have nice swag (stickers, shirts, toys) and a marketing list, I like nice marketing swag! Typically any money is used for weathermap-related expenses, such as web-hosting, the domain name, development tools or other related things вЂ“ over the years, Weathermap has вЂcostвЂ™ me personally over $1000 in expenses, and thousands of hours in coding and support .rpmД .97aДџIXED - Incorrect action URL in 'map selector' combo box for Cacti users.ДЇIXED - cacti_graph_id set to 0 instead of ID, by rrd/poller_output and dsstats plugins (thanks sh0x)ДЇIXED - 'classic' legend drew 'hidden' colour values for things like key background colour.

Generally, IвЂ™d rather you used a public forum, so other people might also benefit from the work involved in solving the problem. This makes it easier to track those issues, and whether they are resolved.ДЇor old-school internet folks thereвЂ™s still a (very low traffic) mailing list, now hosted on Google Groups. SupportДЇor Cacti users, the best place for a quick question or howto is the Weathermap board on the Cacti forums.ДЇor everyone else, and for specific bug reports, thereвЂ™s the Github Issues system. I donвЂ™t recommend it for production use! However, there is also a database-refactorВ branch on github, which is much more likely to be functional if you wanted to follow development. The development version (master branch) on github is currently halfway through a very significant refactoring/rewrite. Here is version 0.98a (requires PHP 4.3.x or higher + PHPвЂ™s gd module) and hereвЂ™s the current manual (this is also in the download, so you have a local copy).Д®arlier releases are also available on github. This version does not support Cacti 1.x вЂ“ see this post: End of Cacti 1.x plans Weathermap is widely used by national and international ISPs, tier-1 carriers, internet exchanges, telcos, national academic networks, many Fortune 500 companies in finance, automotive, medical/pharma and other sectors, state and national government departments, schools and universities, and even a church. Additional datasource plugins allow efficient access to data from CactiвЂ™s poller directly, and data from other Cacti plugins like THold and DSStats. There is strong Cacti integration in particular, leveraging the Cacti plugin architecture to provide a management user interface, and access control for maps using CactiвЂ™s existing user database. It also includes detailed documentation, and an interactive editor to make creating your own maps as painless as possible. Other sources are supported via plugins or external scripts.
