Weather forecast data

[antonie vonk]

Hi,

We are using zabbix to monitor datacenters and Fibre to the Home POP locations.
We are monitoring multiple items and important items for us are temperature and humidity.
For some locations there is a direct relation between outside and inside temperature and humidity.

We are also using a weather forecast website (API) to see the weather will be like in the next couple of days.

With a HTTP agent it is possible the GET the data from de weather forecast API but............
What we like to have in zabbix is the possibility to put this weather forecast data into a temperature and humidity (dependent) item with a timestamp into the future so a graph can be made.

Example of weather forecast data:
(List is an array of 40 items)
(dt = time (epoch) in future)

This may help. https://techexpert.tips/zabbix/zabbi...nitor-weather/
I have done this for myself and it works. Zabbix will take care of GETting the the data and storing timestamps, and you can simply graph the data
