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 . '"><span class="menu-icon ' .  $icon . '"></span> ' . $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

Subject: [Observium] Using PHP Weathermap with Observium

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:

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