This is NW6

an easy simple network weathermap by 6illes

Features

using cytoscape js library and automove module
online design of your network weathermap
save/load your design and keep history
value the links (via pubsub of messages)
monitor your network
using stack node redis expressjs socket.io

Installation

I recommend you use debian

First, install redis server and nodejs #> apt install redis nodejs

unzip the archive
install npm modules #>./install.sh

redis is used for pubsub

expressjs is used for http/https

handlebars is used for html templating

socketio is used for websocket

NDLR adapt the directory paths in one or two scripts (marked TODO)
execute the weathermap application #> node weathermap.js
design your network weathermap http://localhost:4000/ed
load your design (press enter key to load the named Map input)
save/clean your design (click on buttons in edit mode)
your map is at http://localhost:4000 (no edition)

NDLR if you want to use beyond localhost you will need to adapt one or two scripts or template

Type MAP0 in the Map input element and press Enter to load the sample map

Now you need to value the links between your routers.

Network links

The nodejs script #> node query.js allows to gather link values listed in public/net.txt at regular intervals of time and pass it to the weathermap web application via a redis pubsub (publish/subscribe) message.

The current script get the values via simple http requests.

Feel free to write your own collector.

Network simulation

To help start with NW6 network weathermap, you can use the link simulation script #> ǹode simul.js.

Commands

In the following :

node are routers and
edges are unidirectionnal links.

Midpoints in red between converging edges are used to separate between input and output trafic on the link.

You can create nodes (routers) by a simple click and change its characteristics. Multiple nodes can be modified at once when selected using shift key.

Change the routers icons by a simple pressing of the r key. Change the name of the router by editing its Label, matching its name as in public/net.txt.

You can create edges (links) by a simple shift and click between two nodes. Multiple edges can be modified at once when selected using shift key.

Change the edges shape by a simple pressing of the e key. Change the name of the output link by editing the Interface, matching its name as in public/net.txt.

You can delete your selected nodes or edges by pressing the Escape key.

Now you need an easy way to organize your nodes and edges on the map.

Nodes and mipoint nodes can be simply moved by a click and drag/drop. Something cool is the ability to automove the midpoints. Simply select it and press the a key. It's that simple.

Selected nodes can be vertically or horizontally aligned on axes via pressing the keys x and y. Selected nodes can be vertically or horizontally evenly distributed via pressing the keys h and v.

Selected edges can be vertically or horizontally aligned on axes via pressing the keys b and j.

It's that easy.

Key	Command
Enter	To validate inputs Map/Label/Interface
Escape	Delete the selected routers and edges
Shift	Select multiple routers and edges or create a link
r	Toggle between routers icons
e	Toggle between edges shapes straight or curved
a	Automove a midpoint node between router nodes
x	Align selected router nodes on x axis
y	Align selected router nodes on y axis
h	Evenly distribute selected router nodes on horizontal axis
v	Evenly distribute selected router nodes on vertical axis
b	Align selected edges on x axis
j	Align selected edges on y axis
