Graph module

I’m using a bunch of graph already… why not using Grafana to record the data and the iFrame module to display them in your MM ?

That’s a good idea actually. I don’t know what grafana is, will look into it. I might just use the temperature logging python code I have and add a graphing portion to it as well and then use the iframe module to display the graph. Sounds feasible on paper.

@PointPubMedia, thanks, Grafana looks good. I have it installed now to graph server’s cpu, network, e.t.c… Could you tell me please what do you use as a data source for Grafana to create custom graphs? I want to create bitcoin-usd graph, but I don’t know how can I put a data into Grafana.
And how do use put Grafana’s graph into iFrame module? Are there any tricks you can share? -
@feedparakeet I disable the authentication in Grafana so I can use direct link to a graph without a username/password!
In grafana, you can “export” a graph and it will give you a direct URL that you can use directly in an iFrame!
For datasource, currently I’m using a module in my home automation that already send data to grafana!
I need to work later on some unix script to send data directly in grafana!
-
@PointPubMedia Thanks! It worked!
Final setup is: php scripts which grab info from fixer.io (eur + usd) and btc-e.com (bitcoin), put them to InfluxDB and display with Grafana. Works like a charm!
Here is a screenshot from my MM. Looks beautiful in general. But still, few minor things to work on.

@qistoph, thank you, I really appreciate your response. It took me few weeks to understand how do graphs work and get what I need. Finally I did it with Grafana + InfluxDB + PHP scripts. Now I understand that each graph is very special and you need quite a few options to get it work like you want. So, Grafana is the solution for what I was looking for. Don’t think it will be easy to create a universal graph module to satisfy all my needs, like I thought it before. Thanks anyway!
-
@d3r It is absolutely possible with Grafana + iFrame module and a bit of magic lol
-
@feedparakeet How did you get grafana to use all black background?
-
@jalmaas I did it with a very rude way. I have changed all 141414 color to 000000 for background settings in /usr/share/grafana/public/css/grafana.dark.* files
Same way you can remove everything else, like Grafana logo. -
@feedparakeet Have you also seen the nasty empty square on the bottom of grafana iframe exports? I’m trying to get rid of it, but so far with no success. As well if you by chance found out how to get rid of the background grey without messing up with grafana CSS, that would be a great asset :)!
