Overview

This data source is used to collect generic information from Pachube. Data is organized on Pachube in feeds, which are collections of data streams. Since a data stream maps to a Mango point, the definition of a Pachube point is made by specifying both a feed and a stream id. This is a polling data source.

Configuration

Every data source requires a Name, which can be any description. The Update period determines how often the HTTP request to Pachube is made. Note that - depending on your account with Pachube - API request restrictions may apply. See http://community.pachube.com/api#rate_limit for details.

The API key is needed to access private data. You can find it in the "my settings" area when you log in to your Pachube account. The Timeout and Retry fields determine how long to wait for the web server to return the data, and how many times to retry the connection in the event of failures. If all of the retries are exhausted, a data source exception event is raised.
