Generate weathermap connectivity information from LLDP data collected by Observium or LibreNMS

LLDP Weathermap Link Manager

Use neighbour discovery information from your network devices to update links between nodes on a weathermap. Designed for use with Observium or LibreNMS.

Usage

Copy makeweathermap.defaults to makeweathermap.cfg and configure for your installation.

This tool will not generate a complete weathermap, it must be given a partial map to built upon.

In the [weathermap] section, filename should be set to the desired output file for use by PHP Weathermap, header should be set to a base weathermap file (perhaps generated with PHP Weathermap's inbuilt editor).

When you are happy with the behaviour, configure a cron job to run the script, ideally just before the weathermap poller is run. For example:

*/5 * * * *   poller    cd /opt/makeweathermap/ &&
nice ./makeweathermap.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &&
nice /opt/observium/html/weathermap/map-poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
