Cacti used to show Open2300 data

Cacti, from www.cacti.net or your package manager, is a Linux program for collecting and graphing data.

This is a demonstration of graphs that you can make from your weather data.

Attached Files

My son wrote the data collection scripts and he has made them available. The current ones are shell scripts; newer ones written in python would allow conversion of wind speeds to km/h.

Installation

You need your weather station, your linux box, Open2300 and cacti. Cacti needs RRDTool, Perl, Apache, MySQL, libxml2, zlib, PHP, and NET-SNMP.
Windows users can install Cacti under Cygwin.

Configuring

Version 1. log2300 is used to write to a file.
log2300 /opt/open2300-1.10/htdocs/weather_log.log /etc/open2300.conf
Cacti's poller calls get_weather.sh which reads the last line of this file. Configuring the cacti system is tedious and not necessarily intuitive. http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/html/ gives good instructions.

Check http://billiau.net/cacti/graph_view.php to see the weather at Beelbangera, NSW, AU. Click on a graph to see more than one day's values.
