WeatherBug script & templates

Codegrinder is using RRDtool 1.2.x, whereas it looks like you're using 1.0.x. 1.2.x is a bit slower, but much more attractive. Also, Oetiker managed some speed improvements in 1.2.10 which help with performance when the graphs are being drawn. The difference you see is the combination of additional options (font specification, for example) and anti-aliasing. FYI; RRD's touched by 1.2.x are not backwards compatible, so it's wise to back up your RRD's before upgrading.

Simple! thnx.

EDIT:
My graph does go below "0". I changed the "Lower limit" in the graph template "Weatherbug - Temperature" to -40. And that seems to be workig as you can see below.
The weird thing is that only the temperature goes -1 and not the DewPoint....?? They should both be -1.

Okay, I have the same problem here...site is showing at temp of 1.4F and a wind chill of -20.4F. The graph doesn't show the same....it shows the wind chill/heat index correctly, just in the positives. Not sure what to do, I would appreciate any help with this.

Not sure on this, but cactid requires all output be done with one single print (cactid won't wait for another print that may occur). So please check the perl code for that.

If you're running the latest cactid, it requires /full/path/to/perlbinary

Ok... After much frustration I figured out how this works.

Step 1: Import the template and copy the perl script to the scripts directory

Step 2: Make sure that in your Settings > Poller > Downed Host Detection is set to "Ping and SNMP"

Step 3: Devices and create a new host by clicking Add.

Step 4: Enter your description. Then your hostname... you can add a host that is pingable or 127.0.0.1. Then change the host template to "WeatherBug." then click create.

Step 5: Click on "Create Graphs for this Host"

Step 6: Then click on the types of weather you want to graph. I just checked them all.

Step 7: Now... In all of the blanks that say... "get code from..." Go to that website and search for your code. Once have found the weather for your city. In the address bar there is a "?id=" and then there is a few letters... That is your code. Put that in all the blanks that say "get code from..." then click create at the bottom.

Step 8: Now go to your Graph Trees and add the host (the description is what you should look for) that we created earlier in step 1. Then wait for the poller go get the weather.
