starlink-grpc-tools VS dishy_grafana

https://github.com/sparky8512/starlink-grpc-tools - Cant seem to get this to work with docker-compose and influxdb2.8

I'm guessing you've already looked at the debug in the SL app. This is a good reference on what the debug lines mean. https://github.com/sparky8512/starlink-grpc-tools/blob/main/starlink_grpc.py

If you want to get really detailed there's a gRPC endpoint in Dishy with a whole lot of debug data you can look at. See these dashboards for instance. I set all this up a long while back but stopped using it, partly because it's not easy and partly because a Ubiquiti bug makes it hard for me to get at the data.

BoresightAzimuth&Elevation in the debug data are not virtual. That's where your dish points physically. I was told in the beginning (2020 - early 2021) dish shared via grpc the serving satellite number and it showed if the connection was prescheduled or fallback but they hid that api from public access. The only way to see what satellites dish connects to is to observe obstruction map filling up after a cold start. The dish doesn't know about obstructions after a cold start though.

You can use Starlink's API to pull data and statistics, you can find some tools at https://github.com/sparky8512/starlink-grpc-tools/

I found a good one on GitHub. https://github.com/sparky8512/starlink-grpc-tools/blob/main/starlink_grpc.py

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
