The scripts are probably the same.

I am having some difficulty getting this all to work, presumably because of the LWP::Simple module, or the lack thereof. When I run the weatherbug.pl script from the command line, I get this: Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC...... I am assuming that I do not have this module installed, and I have no idea how to get it installed. Can anyone maybe point me in the right direction?

Here's my info:

Thanks Alives, the new version works great.

I'm still having some troubles and I'm hoping someone out there can help me out. I was having problems making this work because of the LWP::Simple module, but I found a different script that was supposed to make it all work without needing that. This is the script I am now using:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$output = `/bin/bash -c 'wget --quiet -O - \"http:\/\/wisapidata.weatherbug.com\/WxDataISAPI\/WxDataISAPI.dll?Magic=10991&RegNum=3647055&ZipCode=21104&StationID=MARIT&Units=0&Version=2.7&Fore=1&t=1015084854\/"'`;

$output =~ s/[^-0-9|\|.]*//gi;

@weather = split(/\|/, $output);

# docs
# [0] - ID?
# [1] - Current Time
# [2] - Current Date
# [3] - Current Temperature
# [5] - Wind Speed (MPH)
# [7] - Gust Wind Speed (MPH)
# [10] - Barometer (Moisture)
# [11] - Humidity (%)
# [12] - High Tempurature
# [13] - Low Temperature
# [14] - Dew Point
# [15] - Wind Chill

print " Temp:" . $weather[3] . " Wind:" . $weather[5] . " Pressure:" . $weather[10] . " Humidity:" .
$weather[11] . " high_temp:" . $weather[12] . " low_temp:" . $weather[13] . " DewPoint:" .
$weather[14] . " FeelsLike:" . $weather[15];

If I run /usr/bin/perl weatherbug.pl 21104 from a command line, it returns results but looking at my log in Cacti, with it only set to "Low", I see this:

If I set the log to debug, I see this:

My graphs on this are all blocky, as though AWS possibly isn't updating real often? Anyone else have this problem?

Alives · Post by **Alives** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 1:26 pm

The script outputs what it pulls from the web. If you are missing data or have bad graphs, its from the website. Check the website to verify, and maybe find another weather location code that might have better accuracy.

Alives · Post by **Alives** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 1:27 pm

Chris:

1) thats not my script. It probably wont work with my templates.
2) run the script from the command line to debug what is going on.

Diggit2001 · Post by **Diggit2001** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 1:36 pm

Yeah, the dude that provided this script to me is not responding to the posts I have sent him so I'm kind of stuck.

When I run this script from the command line, I get results, with no errors so I'm not sure what's going on. I have set up a couple new templates to work with this script, but the graphs are just blank.

I guess if I could could the LWP::Simple module installed/working I would be in good shape with your script but I have so far been unsuccessful with figuring out that part. Could you perhaps point me in the right direction?

Thanks very much for the response.

Never mind. I think I'm good to go now.

Thanks anyhow.

Yeah the update times for my weather locations are terrible - looks like it only updates on AWS every 30 minutes or so - I tried to use this template with the weather underground script but theres a few variables that i don't get

Alives · Post by **Alives** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 12:40 pm

pick a different 5 digit weather code that is close to where you are

evert · Post by **evert** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 1:10 am

Hmm, downtime of the entire aws.com domain?

Perhaps it is time to start working on directly parsing METAR-output...

evert · Post by **evert** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 6:16 am

Hmm, ignore that. Some nincompoop had blocked a bit too much in the firewall...

I'm having an issue when I try to run the script from my cact box. I'm not a Perl guy so If someone can give me a quick heads up about this it would be great.

Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at WeatherBug.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at WeatherBug.pl line 4.

roygrubb · Post by **roygrubb** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 2:39 pm

If anyone else has the problem as described above, I was missing a couple modules that don't come with ubuntu by default, and I had to specify where the modules were in the script itself. Just email me at roy@hgracing.net if you need more information. Thanks guys! These forums are a life saver at times.
