My guide to grafana / influxdb
adapted from SmartThings Data Visualisation using InfluxDB and Grafana
Influxdb
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'
Filling influxdb using evologger
Evohome client readme Evohome client github Freeranger evologger
apt install git apt-get install python-pip cd /opt/ git clone https://github.com/freeranger/evologger.git get clone https://github.com/watchforstock/evohome-client.git pip install ./evohome-client
now cd /evologger
vi config.ini and fill in the usernames etc
Grafana
The Grafana download page debian installation page for grafana
apt-get install libfontconfig1 apt-transport-https
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main
now you can install
dselect update apt-get install grafana 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
http://monitor.edgarbv.int:3000
admin / admin
change password
vi /etc/grafana/grafana.ini
;allow_sign_up = false
Now you can add a data source, which is an influxdb, with name set to Honeywell, URL set to http://db-01.edgarbv.int:8086/ and Influxdb database name, user and password filled in. You can then save and test.
NOTE the URL for data access is port 8086!
