I got bored today and decided that I wanted to monitor weather in different locations with my Cacti setup. I obtained a copy of the AccuWeather perl script and also the XML file for Cacti, loaded it up and what do you know… It wasn’t graphing the Temp or the RealFeel®.
With a little help from my friend Wezzul I was able to get it graphing correctly. I present to you the fixed perl script.
