Overview of this book

Grafana is a powerful open source software that helps you to visualize and analyze data gathered from various sources. It allows you to share valuable information through unclouded dashboards, run analytics, and send notifications. Building IoT Visualizations Using Grafana offers how-to procedures, useful resources, and advice that will help you to implement IoT solutions with confidence. You’ll begin by installing and configuring Grafana according to your needs. Next, you’ll acquire the skills needed to implement your own IoT system using communication brokers, databases, and metric management systems, as well as integrate everything with Grafana. You’ll learn to collect data from IoT devices and store it in databases, as well as discover how to connect databases to Grafana, make queries, and build insightful dashboards. Finally, the book will help you implement analytics for visualizing data, performing automation, and delivering notifications. By the end of this Grafana book, you’ll be able to build insightful dashboards, perform analytics, and deliver notifications that apply to IoT and IT systems.

Using the RabbitMQ integration

RabittMQ is an open source message broker. You can deploy it on a single server or in a cluster, either in the cloud or locally.

You can visit the project website at https://www.rabbitmq.com/.

It supports a wide range of operating systems, such as Linux, Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), UNIX, Windows, and macOS. You can find installation documentation at the following link: https://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html.

There are a lot of libraries in different languages that you can use for connecting to RabbitMQ. You can take a look at them at https://www.rabbitmq.com/devtools.html.

RabbitMQ supports a wide variety of protocols. It implements natively Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) 0-9-1 and supports STOMP, MQTT, AMQP 1.0, HTTP, and WebSockets by using plugins.

As you can see, RabbitMQ is a versatile message broker and is very useful for any IoT system architecture.

Now that you have met RabbitMQ, let’s see how you can...
