With all of this tutorial publishing I've been doing for Grafana, I have neglected to post what mine currently looks like. So, here it is. This is the 1080P version. I also built an iPad version that has a lot of the same info but compressed for the…
Continuing the documentation effort. This is a shell script you run from Unraid in a cron job to feed stats to InfluxDB. You can then present them in Grafana. Note about that, I was having a lot of trouble getting the Grafana graphs to present correctly for anything coming from…
