OpenWeatherMap Input Plugin
This plugin collects weather and forecast data from the OpenWeatherMap service.
To use this plugin you will need an APP-ID to work.
Introduced in: Telegraf v1.11.0 Tags: applications, web OS support: all
Global configuration options
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
Configuration
# Read current weather and forecasts data from openweathermap.org
[[inputs.openweathermap]]
## OpenWeatherMap API key.
app_id = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
## City ID's to collect weather data from.
city_id = ["5391959"]
## Language of the description field. Can be one of "ar", "bg",
## "ca", "cz", "de", "el", "en", "fa", "fi", "fr", "gl", "hr", "hu",
## "it", "ja", "kr", "la", "lt", "mk", "nl", "pl", "pt", "ro", "ru",
## "se", "sk", "sl", "es", "tr", "ua", "vi", "zh_cn", "zh_tw"
# lang = "en"
## APIs to fetch; can contain "weather" or "forecast".
# fetch = ["weather", "forecast"]
## OpenWeatherMap base URL
# base_url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/"
## Timeout for HTTP response.
# response_timeout = "5s"
## Preferred unit system for temperature and wind speed. Can be one of
## "metric", "imperial", or "standard".
## The default is "metric" if not specified.
# units = "metric"
## Style to query the current weather; available options
## batch -- query multiple cities at once using the "group" endpoint
## individual -- query each city individually using the "weather" endpoint
## You should use "individual" here as it is documented and provides more
## frequent updates. The default is "batch" for backward compatibility.
# query_style = "batch"
## Query interval to fetch data.
## By default the global 'interval' setting is used. You should override the
## interval here if the global setting is shorter than 10 minutes as
## OpenWeatherMap weather data is only updated every 10 minutes.
# interval = "10m"City identifiers can be found in the city list file or you search your city by name on the OpenWeatherMap website and use the numeric last element of the resulting URL. Language identifiers can be found in the API documentation.
