pp-code-metrics

Sending metrics from a pp-code sensor to InfluxDB to be visualized by Grafana

Default Environment Settings

• See repo compose-monitor if you use it for InfluxDB and Grafana.
• CONFIG_FILE: this must be set to your config settings, see sample_settings.yml for example.

URI Pattern to retrieve metrics from a websever

# From get_metrics.py
uri = protocol + host + ':' + str(port) + '/' + key + endpoint

Sample returned json from a pp-code sensor

{
  "API": {
    "Version": "200"
  },
  "Stats": {
    "Temp": "74.34F",
    "Humi": "55.29%",
    "Press (inHg)": "29.63"
  }
}

Build docker image

make docker
# or,
docker-compose build

Workflow

First, we need to have InfluxDB and Grafana run from this compose-monitor docker-compose.

1.Running from commandline

nohup ./run_get_metrics.sh my_settings.yml 2>&1 > /dev/null &

2.Running as a docker service

Switch to virtual env with docker-compose installed. All settings are in my_settings.yml file.

workon metrics
docker-compose up -d
