I'm trying to find a way to graph a number that is being returned from a perl script via a website. For instance, say I go to https://1.2.3.4/cgi-bin/checksize.pl https://1.2.3.4/cgi-bin/checksize.pl in my browser, it asks for a basic username/password and then prints out the size of a folder on the page in kilobytes i.e. 31222288. I just can't figure out how to graph it. Running 4.2.3

create a shell script that uses wget post to write the data to stdout.
Create a data source of the type "command"
Create a graph which uses the datasource.
