In this project we deploy Grafana using a docker-compose file.
This docker-compose exposes a web interface that allows us to fully customize our dashboards, create alerts, and explore our data.
To access the web interface, go to the address of your Grafana
(project default: http://localhost:6868) in your browser.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up a simple dashboard in Grafana to visualize our temperature data and humidity data.
-
Open Menu > Connections > Add new Connection.
-
Select InfluxDB as the type of connection > Add new Data source.
-
InfluxDB has 3 query languages, in this example we will use Flux, because it is the most powerful and flexible query language.
-
To use Flux we need only 4 parameters (
URL,Token,User,Database). This are the default values for our project, you can change them in the./influx-grafana/influx-grafana.ymlfile.
-
Query Language: Flux
-
URL: http://influxdb:8086
-
User: my-user
-
Database: my-bucket
-
Token:
you need to create a token in InfluxDB
To create a token in InfluxDB, go to the address of your InfluDB and create a new token in the one of the tutorials for client libraries.
