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.

Preface

In this book, you will learn how to implement an IoT system using open source tools.

The main focus of this book is the use of Grafana as an IoT platform. However, we will also cover many technologies involved in the transmission, storage, management, and visualization of data.

These technologies include IoT communication protocols, time-series databases, and Docker containers.

Also, you will learn how to integrate other systems with Grafana, including Prometheus, OpenSearch, LibreNMS, and Fluent Bit.

After finishing this book, you will have a clear idea about IoT systems, communications, and platforms, and you will be able to test and implement your IoT systems using Grafana according to specific requirements.
