This is test project for using Grafana together with InfluxDB all wrapped in Docker containers.

Getting started

• Check out this repo
• In the same folder as docker-compose.yml:

docker-compose up -d  

(if this command fails try first to execute: docker-compose build)

• Two containers should be up and running. Check this out with:

docker ps -a

• Get ip address of docker machine

docker-machine ip default

• Populate InfluxDB with test data. If your docker ip address is different than one specified in populate.rb, update value in that file.

ruby populate.rb

• Open Grafana in browser:

$ docker-machine ip default
-> 192.168.99.100
$ firefox 192.168.99.100:3000

• Login with username admin, password admin.

• Add data source

• Click Add data source

• Populate as on the picture below:

• Add new Dashboard. Dashboards -> New

• Add new Graph to the row Add Panel -> Graph

• Save Dashboard
