-USB-WDE1 Munin plugin
-=====================
-Generate graphs for temperature and humidity by utilizing Munin.
-
-
-Idea
-----
-0. Keep a logfile with the most recent single line
-1. Use the munin plugin to generate munin-compatible data from the log file
-
-
-Setup
------
-0. Checkout the munin plugin code:
- $ cd /usr/local/src
- $ git clone git://git.cweiske.de/usb-wde1-tools.git
- $ cd usb-wde1-tools
-
-1. A process needs to watch the USB interface and log the last
- line with temperature data into a log file.
- You can do that manually with
- $ socat /dev/ttyUSB0,b9600 STDOUT |./munin/log-single-line.sh test.log
-
- The most easy way is to run
- $ cd munin && nohup ./usb-wde1-log-last.sh &
- once. It backgrounds the logging process and logs into /tmp/usb-wde1-last.
- This process needs to be started whenever the machine is rebooted.
-
-2. Link the munin plugin:
- $ cd /etc/munin/plugins
- $ ln -s /usr/local/src/usb-wde1-tools/munin/usb-wde1_ usb-wde1_temperature
- $ ln -s /usr/local/src/usb-wde1-tools/munin/usb-wde1_ usb-wde1_humidity
-
-3. Configure the plugins
- Edit /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node and add the following lines:
- [usb-wde1_*]
- env.logfile /tmp/usb-wde1-last
- env.host_name House
- env.sensors 0 1 7
- env.sensor0 Living room
- env.sensor1 Kitchen
- env.sensor7 Outside
-
-4. Try it:
- $ munin-run usb-wde1_temperature autoconf
- - should echo "yes"
- $ munin-run usb-wde1_temperature config
- - should display the plugin configuration with all environment variables
- set
- $ munin-run usb-wde1_temperature
- $ munin-run usb-wde1_humidity
- - should display the current values from the log file
-
-5. You are done - enjoy.

-Debugging & Development
------------------------
-The dummy data generator is a small php script that generates log lines
-as they would come from the usb-wde1 usb port:
-$ ./dummy-data-generator.php |./munin/log-single-line.sh test.log
-
-Local (non-installed) plugin setup:
-$ cd munin
-$ ln -s usb-wde1_ usb-wde1_temperature
-$ ln -s usb-wde1_ usb-wde1_humidity
-$ cd ..
-
-
-Running the munin plugin for development purposes is also relatively easy
-since you can pass the environment configuration variables
-from the munin configuration on the command line:
-$ logfile=test.log sensors="0 1 7" ./munin/usb-wde1_temperature
-
-When you have problems running the munin plugin, try to
-remove the line
- env.host_name House
-from file usb-wde1_
-

-Permission errors
-.................
-
- cu: open (/dev/ttyUSB0): Permission denied
- cu: /dev/ttyUSB0: Line in use
-
-Only way that I found to fix this was change ownership of `/dev/ttyUSB0` to uucp::
-
- $ chown uucp /dev/ttyUSB0
