influxdb and grafana on raspberrypi
-
I found the problem.. github.com/influxdb is renamed to github.com/influxdata, and all guides that I have followed pointed to influxdb. Tried to go with the influxdata instead. And I got it to build..
So the recipe that I followed is the following (Taken from the French site that you mentioned above, and modified with my findings)
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer $ chmod +x gvm-installer $ ./gvm-installer Cloning from https://github.com/moovweb/gvm.git to /home/pi/.gvm No existing Go versions detected Installed GVM v1.0.22 Please restart your terminal session or to get started right away run `source /home/pi/.gvm/scripts/gvm` $ source /home/pi/.gvm/scripts/gvm # Install Go 1.4 before Go 1.5 : https://github.com/moovweb/gvm/issues/155 $ gvm install go1.4.2 Downloading Go source...

Not sure if this works for sure or not but, if you are looking for a shortcut.... here is a .deb package made for Ubuntu arm.

Anyone have any tips for Grafana on an Rpi by chance?

that's a rather old influxdb version, latest is 0.10
I finally succeeded in getting both influxdb and grafana to install.. (Influx 0.10 and grafana 2.6.0). So now it's graphing time :)
I have setup node-red to push data into influxdb, so it's independent on the controller that I choose to use..
Right now it's stored to the sdcard on my raspberry, but since I push electrical utility measurements every second, I believe that I have to setup some kind of external storage, otherwise the sdcard would be worn out..

I haven't got that large data amount right now.. Right now only 5 sensors are writing to the influx db:
4 sensebenders (temperature / humidity). One of them also barometric pressure.. These are only transmitting when temperature / humidity changes..
1 Electrical utility meter.. this writes a couple of times each second (every time the LED blinks on my utility meter :))So far I can't see any issues with speed, but it might change when I've got logs for 6 months in the database.
I haven't set up a retention plan yet, so currently I keep all data forever..

Just found out that influxdata, is now making builds for armhf platform, from version 0.11..
So no need to compile stuff yourself for that part..
