Weather
Ever wondered how a little sunshine can boost your computer's performance? Believe it or not, environmental conditions like temperature can significantly impact machine health. In this guide, we'll walk you through setting up a data source to import weather data into FojiSoft, allowing you to monitor and optimize machine performance based on real-time weather conditions. By incorporating weather data into your FojiSoft analysis, you can gain valuable insights and potentially improve machine longevity and efficiency.
Add a Weather Data Source
- Log into your Foji account
- Access Data Sources under Integrations in the Settings application
- Click the New Data Source button
- Select the Weather Observations (United States) provider from the list under Cloud. You may also find it using the search box.
- Complete the Data Source Fields
- Click the Create button

Metrics
The weather data source will import some or all of the following time series metrics for the target location.
| Metric |
|---|
| weather_dewpoint_fahrenheit |
| weather_elevation_feet |
| weather_heat_index_fahrenheit |
| weather_precipitation_1hr_inches |

Logs
The latest weather observation is recorded in the log data. This includes the entire observation object which may include other properties in addition to the derived metrics.
Weather Data Notice
The weather observation data is imported from the closet national weather service observation station to the target location. Due to this, some minor variations between the observed values and the actual weather at the target location may exist.
