Hi All,
I'm now getting to grips with the various parts of the software but I cant quite get my head around these last three (InfluxDB/Kapacitor/Chronograf + Grafana) and what I need. I've used Grafana for monitoring at work and I understand this is reading data stored in an Influx DB.
Whats Kapacitor - It mentions streaming of data, is that a way to get live data rather than reading it from the DB?
Chronograf - from what I understand this is another Grafana?
I've got my DB setup, data is going from SK > DB > Grafana, so I've just stopped the services for Kap and Chrono - is this wise? My thinking is trying to save some resource.
Are the three all configured from port 8889?
I'm looking to get some realtime data and historical so using a mixture of KIP and Grafana.
