Santa Barbar Air Quality DS

Nice!  I was trying to build out a DS for weather API checks some time back, but I run into the same issue I do with Cisco PSIRT API checks -- no way to cache results short of local files to avoid excessive usage due to duplicate calls.  I guess I will just have to see what I can do with local files.  Not sure if a SQLite binding is included with the provided Groovy libraries.  If not, that could help.

@mnagel there's no SQLite JAR in there, unfortunately, but EA collectors do have a new script cache feature: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/collectors/collector-configurations/collector-script-caching

The cache is scoped to a device, and entries will survive collection intervals.

You mean like this: https://github.com/sweenig/lmcommunity/tree/master/OpenWeatherMap

That could be handy for some of the zoom DSs (ZoomOverallDailyStats, which is unpublished). Hm......will have to look into this. @Stefan W

Exactly, I just stopped since I did not want to sign up for a much larger account than needed.  I think there are other attributes I wanted to track, like precipitation, but pretty much that was put off since I could not restrict calls to once per zip code for each hour or so.  We used to get that information (using caching) with Nagios from the Wunderground API and insert detail into alerts via our notification templating system. My philosophy has always been to include as much relevant information in alerts as possible to support Lazy Admin mode.  A bit harder to do here without conditional templating, but I rebuilt that system into our ticketing system via an inbound transform.  The main thing we lose is the ability to run callbacks to get stuff like top 5 process details, etc. Still, we only use that in some cases and most clients get alerts from LM, so still wishing for real templating one day :).

Awesome -- thanks!!!!

Yeah, precipitation was something I couldn't get for free.

FWIW, this is the json that my weather ds fetches:

weather is in there, which would be fine.  My recollection was that OWM was free for basic access with a query limit, and the query limit could be kept to with the new caching feature so I will definitely revisit it now. Found it:

60 calls/minute
1,000,000 calls/month

It sounds like a lot, but without caching....  yeah :).
