Flexible Visualization of TTN Data

This page describes installing Grafana and InfluxDB on openSuse 42.2. It also describes how to configure apache 2.4 to recieve data from a Things Network applications HTTP integration and store it in an InfluxDB database. Finally it shows how to create a Grafana dashboard to display the data from the InfluxDB.

Installing InfluxDB

Here is the Download Portal Currently, it tells me to 

wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb-1.7.9.x86_64.rpm
zypper install influxdb-1.7.9.x86_64.rpm

It warns about missing package shadow-util. On openSuse this is named shadow and is installed -> ignore.

To use systemd for managing the database service, copy the service file 

cp -av /usr/lib/influxdb/scripts/influxdb.service /etc/systemd/system/

For later versions of openSuse, Influx Installation Documentation suggests using a repository - should have the same results: 

zypper ar -f obs://devel:languages:go/ go
zypper in influxdb

Now check config in /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf, then enable and start the service 

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable influxdb
systemctl start influxdb
systemctl status influxdb

Configure InfluxDB

/etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
