Graphs with Color Coded Percent Utilization

Hello,
I am currently trying to completely replace our cacti installation with Observium. One of the last things that make me hold on to cacti are these kind of graphs:
[cid:image001.gif@01D1C580.2CFF4E30] The graphs are described here: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8520
We have put the most important interfaces on our NOC screen and can immediately recognize if some interfaces are under unusual high load.
Is there a way I can achieve something similar with Observium?
Thanks, Regards Siegfried

You could setup alerting for those interfaces :)

I know and have already done that. It works very well for me to recognize unusual loads.
But the colored graphs are also pretty nice to just get a heads up if I should consider an upgrade of some interfaces. Tbh I just like the way these graphs look and it is also understandable for everyone :)

There's a plugin for Cacti called Weathermap, which someone adopted to work with Observium, which can get you some pretty colors. Check here for details: http://blog.best-practice.se/2014/07/using-php-weathermap-with-observium.htm...
I use it myself, it's pretty handy.

Thanks! I wasn’t aware that I could use weathermaps with observium. I will check it out.
But still it would like the graphs itself to be color coded. ☺

Has anyone been able to recently install this? Looks like it’s no longer available on GitHub.

I found it somewhere else on Github: https://github.com/tobzsc/weathermap-for-observium Worked for me without any problems.
