dishy_grafana VS grpcurl

Someone on here made a decent option - https://github.com/sponsianus/dishy_grafana

There are dashboards that others have written that might help give you some of what you're looking for. I've been using https://github.com/sponsianus/dishy_grafana for a few months (running as a container in WSL on one of my laptops) that includes two graphana visualizations, starlink statistics and network statistics.

Thanks! It was a huge stroke of good luck that we barely had to move the old antenna mast. The stats stuff is using this grafana/influxdb docker setup with my own heavily-customized version of the dashboard. There was a major update to Dishy's firmware last night, though, and some of the stats don't work correctly now - the underlying starlink-grpc-tools utility needs some updates to handle the new debug data format, and I'm not well-versed enough in how that all works to fix it myself - but otherwise it works great!

I used this a month or so ago to get Dishy Grafana stats and speed tests. https://github.com/sponsianus/dishy_grafana

grpcurl

The API server will be built and start running on port 50051. You can test the functionality using a gRPC client of your choice like grpcurl or Postman.

> What is the ubiquitous utility for interacting with gRPC? We have curl for REST. What is openAPI of gRPC?

grpcurl[1] combined with gRPC server reflection[2]. The schema is compiled into the server as an encoded proto which is exposed via server reflection, which grpcurl reads to send correctly encoded requests.

The whole idea behind the post is that accessing the gRPC service with regular tools is impossible. To test, we need a dedicated tool nonetheless. I found grpcurl. Let's install it and use it to list available services:

gRpcurl is a cool little tool to look at btw. Had to use it at my job before. Can call a gRPC via a curl like command. Regular curl doesn't support HTTP2. Had to use TLS with some tokens even. But you can reference a local .proto(gRPC protobuf file for the call) and make things easier for yourself if you hate reading instructions on command line args like I do.

A simple GRPC client built using grpcurl.

Try testing with grpcurl, using the -H or -rpc-header flags to set the appropriate header.
