[rrd-users] anybody developed User trend controls

Anybody else using RRD:CGI::Image  on rrdtool-1.3.1

I managed to get it installed without errors and think I am very close.  The
example page shows the “graphing error” image
.

When I move the slider alert(url) is showing the following string:

/hist/rrd.png.cgi?--vertical-label=pH;--title=Aquarium Statistics;
DEF:phv=aqua_ph.rrd:P1:AVERAGE;LINE1:phv%2333eeff:Aquarium;--start=07/01/200
8 00:00;--end=07/05/2008 00:00;

however it does not generate a graph, however does show the error graphic so
I assume perl and the module is running. 

I was a little confused with the date format as I am in Australia its
day/month/year so I do not now if this is my problem.  ?

 When ever I try and simplify the cgi string (ie delete the start/stop times
and replace with now e-1d)  it screws up and doesn’t even return even the
“graph error” image

I have placed my rrd database file in the root of my apache2 web server
/var/www/aqua_ph.rrd  and modified the rrd.png.cgi file as below.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use warnings;

use RRD::CGI::Image;

use CGI qw[header Vars];

print header( 'image/png' );

my $artist = RRD::CGI::Image->new(

        rrd_base  => '/var/www/',

        error_img => '/var/www/hist/graphing_error.png',

        logging   => '/var/www/hist/rrd_error.log',

);

$artist->print_graph( Vars() );

Does the above look ok ?

 Appreciate your advice

 Cheers from Australia

Just for reference the following RRD::Graph does work just fine and returns
a full web page with graph

There's one included as an example with the CPAN module RRD::CGI::Image

Hi all,

I just use rrdtool to collect gauge data from a number of temperature
variables and display the trends via a web page.   www.rjconway.homeip.net

I was wondering if anybody has seen a site that uses a "slider bar" under
the trend to enable the user to select another start time, or simple
calendar controls that generate the trends on-the-fly that are simply done
using forms & cgi files.  I am looking to create a ½ screen popup that
enables the user to interact with the trend history function.  At the moment
you can see from my site I simply have a drop down menus for history past
the 2 days.

Regards

rob
