Web Services Weather as Scripted Input
[NOTE to Splunk: This is a resubmission as the application is now in .spl format and has been tested on MAC OS and Windows XP] This distribution calls a weather web service periodically with a list of cities as input which is output to Splunk's indexer. The code makes use of the Apache Axis client library to call a web service as a scripted input to retrieve Weather reports for major cities and use each response as an Event stored in XML format. It is used as a demonstration for using web services as a scripted input. You can choose your own cities to build your time series weather data store. The work to call the web service for each city country pair is done in the GatherWeather.java program. To install, unzip and un tar the distribution in SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps and read the README_WS.txt file for further configuration.
