Help with perl script

[yodanz]

Hi everyone

I've created a perl script to gather data from a Current Cost Energy monitoring device.

It's output is as below.

C:\>perl c:\wdisplay\currentcost\cc.pl
temp:25.3 ch1:894 ch2:37 ch3:428 total:1359

This displays Temperature, Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and a total of all 3 phases.

I've been using Cacti to monitor servers for a while now, but have no idea how to get this data into a graphing form. Anyone able to help me out with some templates etc?

I've been searching and following guides all morning, but i suspect im doing it wrong - and have no clue with XML !

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Did you check this?

http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:3a_adv ... ut_methods

There you can see all the process. You don't need an xml file to gather data if you are using an external script.

Good luck.

Any chance you could upload the graph templates for the current cost device?
