My guide to grafana / influxdb
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

vi /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main
