Solar Flares (was: RE: Fw: CGI Issue)

[Scott Ripley]

Tom,

I actually had the links under reporting on my installation, but its
probably best to leave them at the bottom for the demo. It could probably
use another header to avoid confusion with the configuration section. I
wouldn't want to mislead anyone about Nagios' capabilities, or more
importantly that NASA owns the data. 

Who made the original png images? Maybe we could get another for "Other",
"Custom", or "External". Then do something like the following to make it
more uniform.

** END OF CONFIGURATION TABLE **

<table width="150" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td><img src="images/sbcustom.png" width="147" height="21" alt="--
Custom --"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

<table width="150" border="0" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>

** ADD SOLAR SNIPPET HERE **

</table>

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I want a custom section. It
could even be included in the distribution to encourage creativity/ideas.
Not the solar weather graphs, but just a Cust-Link1, Cust-Link2, Cust-Link3
type thing. I have some embedded web devices that do something similar,
where you can add localized links into the menu. Hmmmm.....

As long as I'm making a Christmas wish list... I wish that the headers on
side.html were just <th class=side.header></th> with corresponding
properties in the style sheet to make them uniform, instead of gif or png
images. Then it would be easy to add more anytime you wish, and the
properties (color, font, fontsize, etc.) would be configurable. You could
add an "Intranet", "IT Only", or any custom section at your lesiure. I've
added my intranet links under General, but it would be nice to have a
seperate section.

I'm just thinking out loud here, so to speak. I'm getting more ideas about
optional collapsable sub-menus, but its starting to look like scope-creap to
me. Take all of this with a grain of salt.

To your question, I think the ACE data is available via FTP, and updated
every x minutes. Not real time, but you can get it. 

http://sec.noaa.gov/ftpmenu/lists/ace.html 1&5 min data
http://sec.noaa.gov/ftpmenu/lists/ace2.html hourly data

Also, browsable historical data for each instrument here:
http://www.srl.caltech.edu/ACE/ASC/browse/mag_brws_plts.html

I don't know about the rest. I've had this in there since NetSaint, and I
haven't looked in a while. I guess that was the whole point of having the
links there. :-)

Scott.

Fantastic, 

I have just added this to the nagios demo page so people can see it on 

http://nagios.square-box.com

I will probably leave it there until next Sunday when I do the cvs
rebuild of nagios and the plugins.

Incidentally, is it possible to pick up this data real time?

I was trying to find info on electronically tagged species so I could
plot their Lat and Long in nagios, but after asking NASA for data feeds
I did not get very far. Something to do with them not wanting me playing
with satellites I suppose.

If anyone has any cool stuff that could be monitored to show the
diversity of monitoring, I would be interested to here from him or her.
Just email me the details of what you have and I will see what I can do.
Don't post it to the list, as I do not reckon everyone wants to know
movements of a walrus colony in Alaska :)

But then again...

Cheers

Hi Scott,

Who would have ever known that my wiseacre response would be so useful?
:)  Well,
besides Miss Cleo and Kenny Kingston.

Pretty neat idea!  Thanks for sharing that!
