vzlogger VS Grafana

vzlogger running on Raspberry Pi Zero WH with IR head, connected to your meter for reading values

Requires: * Prometheus to scrape the metrics * Grafana to create a dashboard from the collected metrics

Hi everyone! I have a kind of pet project I want to share. I'm a software engineer working on projects related to monitoring and data visualization. Probably, someone of you know about software called Grafana. It's a dashboard for monitoring and data analytics with great visualization capabilities. I've thought why not to turn it into telemetry dashboard? We have lots of various data that simracing titles provide and this data might be visualized in many different ways. So I created a plugin which can read telemetry from a few simracing titles and bring that data into Grafana.

Grafana This one will be in a Docker container bundled with Prometheus and probably InfluxDB (For now I prefer Prometheus, seemed easier to secure it)

As mentioned in this issue from 2 years ago, scripted dashboard are deprecated but it still has not been removed since there is no replacement (and there seems to be none any time soon).

While tools such as Prometheus and Upptime will let you monitor, alert, and communicate incidents to your users, there's a lot more than just tracking metrics and pinging your page to really understand your system. The cost of stitching together your own bespoke solution in terms of time alone can be weeks or months, which can strain already over-extended engineers. Moreover, wouldn't you rather be working on things that provide value to your end-users rather than spinning up Grafana again?

Grafana - Grafana

We use the https://grafana.com stack at work and it's been easy to work with. The ecosystem for it is pretty expansive too.

Now we should be able to go to Grafana running on [localhost:3000/dashboards](http://localhost:3000/dashboards) and see all the available monitoring dashboards.
