openplotter-dashboards v3 is released. It contains the same dashboards as OpenPlotter 2 but with great improvements.
Now you do not need InfluxDB or any intermediate program to get real time data into Grafana from a Signal K server. Just using a websocket plugin in Grafana and some easy settings.
Now you do not need any Signal K plugin to store real time data into InfluxDB 2 from a Signal K server. You do not need Kapacitor and Chronograph apps either. All is included in just one interface in InfluxDB 2. OpenPlotter will be in charge of building the required telegraf conf files to translate and send data to InfluxDB 2. The bad news is that InfluxDB 2 is only for 64bit.
After installing grafana from openplotter-dashboards everything is ready to work and the plugin to read from Signal K server is also installed. This is a brief manual, more detailed instructions will be added to docs soon:
Create a data source using the Websocket plugin with these settings:
Create a dashboard reading from the above data source with these fields and settings:
Add these transformations to show only the signal k key you need and add also any calculation to transform its value, on this case we convert kelvin units to Celsius:
Enjoy and test and report as usual.
