adapted from SmartThings Data Visualisation using InfluxDB and Grafana

apt-get install influxdb influxdb-cli influxdb-client
service influxdb start
systemctl enable influxdb
influx

you can also surf to http://db-01.edgarbv.int:8083/ to check if it works

Back in the cli (influx) enter <jpre> Visit https://enterprise.influxdata.com to register for updates, InfluxDB server management, and monitoring. Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 1.0.2 InfluxDB shell version: 1.0.2 > create database "honeywell" > create user "grafana" with password 'password'

The Grafana download page debian installation page for grafana

cd /usr/local/src/
wget https://dl.grafana.com/oss/release/grafana_6.1.6_amd64.deb
apt-get install libfontconfig1
dpkg -i grafana_6.1.6_amd64.deb
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable grafana-server
mv /var/lib/grafana/ /home/
ln -s /home/grafana /var/lib/grafana
systemctl start grafana-server

Verify it works by visiting

change password

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

deb https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main
