Back about 10 years ago, in the rolling blackout era here, I wrote up a script to check the Calif ISO status page for any upcoming events. Can't find a working link at deadcat.net, but the text of the script is at

http://support.bb4.com/archive/200210/msg00544.html

*shudder* .. old code. I'm sure the page layout has changed, so it'd need some tweaks.

There's a state-specific CA EDIS XML feed at http://edis.oes.ca.gov/index.atom that might be useful for you to read from.

I have an old script written by David Schronce for the original Big Brother. It grabs a page like this one:

 http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KTUL.html

parses it, looks for key words and send red, yellow or green status messages depending on the results. I made a few modifications to it . It's probably still running at EDS in Tulsa, even if they won't admit it... :-)

I'll tidy it up a bit this evening, make it work with xymon-4.3.x, before releasing it back to the wild.

I had it reporting for a pseudo-host called Weather, with columns for several cities.

Has anyone here ever hooked xymon into any sort of public alert system , such as EMWIN? Are there internet-accessible feeds of this data?

Been searching around for a while, I keep finding commercial services.

thanks Betsy (thinking of all the things that could trigger alerts at our company, this is one of the few that isn't in xymon)
