Hi everyone,
Ok, I have my RPi 4, a USB GPS reciever, a BMP 180 sensor and I have a Motessier Hat 2 that should be here by the end of the week. I've got the RPi st up with the Headless version, that works well and I can login over VNC with no problem. I somehow stumbled through getting the USB GPS to actually work in OpenCPN...
I followed this tutorial https://nwmichl.net/2020/07/14/telegraf-...m-scratch/
in order to set up an Influxdb Database and then link it to Grafana with a Dashboard (monitoring Rpi temps and CPU usage), it actually works...I'm amazed.
So, my question is: In order to set up new databases to monitor environmental data (Baro, Temp, etc...) do I need to go into Influx and create a new Database, and give permissions like I did in the example in the tutorial? I think I do but I haven't read that explicitly anywhere... I am not a programmer by any means...I don't know how I got this far with so few problems...lol...
Another question: When I'm setting up a new Dashboard in Grafana do I need to go into the Configuration>Data sources tabs and pick a new Influxdb source (and name it Influxdb 1, 2 etc...) for each data set or Dashboard that I wand to make or will the one that is currently there (Default) work for everything.
