The program is written in Perl programming language. It isusing the GD perl module for opening, manipulating and writing imagefiles. The GD module requires the Gd Graphics Library (libgd). The GdGraphics Library requires several libraries like freetype, libjpeg,libpng and libz.
The current version of the network weathermap does not do any SNMP dataacquisition but relies on MRTG for that task since MRTG does it in asimple and effective way. MRTG stores the values of the last SNMP queryas HTML comments within the HTML file that creates for each network link:
<!-- maxin d 128563 --> <!-- maxout d 29795 -->The network weathermap retrieves the HTML files directly from the filesystem or remotely from a specified web server using GNU wget, parsesthem and uses the current in and out values (cuin d and cuout d values)to generate the map.
<!-- avin d 17219 --> <!-- avout d 18115 -->
<!-- cuin d 11369 --> <!-- cuout d 19663 -->
<!-- avmxin d 23106 --> <!-- avmxout d 18598 -->
