Pachube

Moin

Thanks to Oli (@EOLUS) I am now Beta Tester of Pachube. Cool Web 2.0 Service for Real Time Data exchange. People are streaming their measurement data with geographical informations in CSV or EEML XML format and can exchange their data.

I am now streaming my server temperature just for testing. Check out

Hope more will follow soon.

Its very easy to send your data from linux. For example with curl and csv:

/usr/bin/curl -X PUT -H “X-PachubeApiKey: abc123″ -d “`/bin/cat  /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature | /usr/bin/cut -c 26-27`,” http://www.pachube.com/api/1287.csv

Important is your Pachube key in the header of the PUT request. And your feed ID. With this example I am catching the acpi CPU temp and send them to Pachube.

  1. I love this kind of Pachube experiments,thank you. We have developed some code on Pachube, too. The result is Pachubero, a very simple Ruby library to connect to Pachube and request data from the feeds.

    Hope you can find it interesting.

  2. Pachube is really a great idea. I hope there will be more and more “publisher” in the future. Together with a friend we are working in the Aquarium interface and then my Aquarium will be visible (at least the data) on Pachube. I am already addicted to pachube. :-)

  3. I really like this article,because i do think this will help us to make a good project on this topic.I bookmarked the blog so in future i can search it for more post.
