Just curious, How did this go. Is it working for you?
Also if you have a better suggestion for the host name let me know.
Thank you so much for this excellent and detailed post. Also, thanks for the fork of the InfluxDB logger.
I'm a total NOOB but in the past week I've managed to:
- Revive an old PC (from 2006!) and install Ubuntu. Linux is new to me.
- Install Influx DB (actually a couple of times - I started with the latest version but down-rev'ed it after some challenges).
- Install Grafana and setup Influx user per instructions.
- Install the Influx DB logger and configure it correctly.
- Verified that data can be viewed in Grafana.
Now I just need to learn how to configure dashboards and other plots in Grafana.
I actually struggled quite a bit, mostly because my knowledge is so limited. I'll spare you the details.
Thanks again!

I am glad it is working so well for you. I can't take creadit for the InfluxDB Logger though. That was done by some other folk
