OpenWeatherMap Input Plugin

Collect current weather and forecast data from OpenWeatherMap.

To use this plugin you will need an api key (app_id).

City identifiers can be found in the city list. Alternately you can search by name; the city_id can be found as the last digits of the URL: https://openweathermap.org/city/2643743. Language identifiers can be found in the lang list. Documentation for condition ID, icon, and main is at weather conditions.

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".
  # 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"

Metrics

• weather
  • tags:
    • city_id
    • forecast
    • condition_id
    • condition_main
  • fields:
    • cloudiness (int, percent)
    • humidity (int, percent)
    • pressure (float, atmospheric pressure hPa)
    • rain (float, rain volume for the last 1-3 hours (depending on API response) in mm)
    • snow (float, snow volume for the last 1-3 hours (depending on API response) in mm)
    • sunrise (int, nanoseconds since unix epoch)
    • sunset (int, nanoseconds since unix epoch)
    • temperature (float, degrees)
    • feels_like (float, degrees)
    • visibility (int, meters, not available on forecast data)
    • wind_degrees (float, wind direction in degrees)
    • wind_speed (float, wind speed in meters/sec or miles/sec)
    • condition_description (string, localized long description)
    • condition_icon
