Hello!
Recently I bought esp8266 (NodeMcu) – it is a low cost device with wifi chip, that can be programmed by Arduino IDE or Lua script language.
My first idea for this device is to draw graphs of temperature readings from ds18b20 sensor and signal strength on wifi connection for each SSID with which the device can connect. For logging I have raspberry pi configured with graphite server and Grafana. To log something on graphite server the esp8266 have to send UDP packet with string containg: metric name, metric value, timestamp. Bellow expample of such strings:
|
1 2 |
esp.temp 21.50 1482075500 esp.rssi.JAN -73 1482075500 |
Charts in Grafana:
And the code doing this looks as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 |

hello
can you please show me in graphite server how to configure it? please thank you in advance 🙂
Hi 🙂
Here is a description how to install graphite and grafana server https://www.admintome.com/blog/graphite-grafana-metrics-monitoring-made-easy/
After install you can check if everything is working by sending example metric to graphite:

Thanks a lot! Exactly what I needed.
