I'm using Grafana Home Dashboard now. - 2019
See Autotyed for the full integration.

Indigraphs

Graphs for Indigo Data.

Here you will find detailed instructions for how to graph every piece of data Indigo creates using free software: PostgreSQL, Graphite and Grafana. Also provided is a custom script you can schedule in Indigo. It copies your SQL data into graphite.

Step 1 - Get your data into SQL.

Download PostgresAPP from http://postgresapp.com

It doesn't require much configuration.
Set it to turn on at login so it's always available.

Setup the Indigo SQL Logger Plugin.

There are directions on Indigo's Wiki
Leave the database name as indigo_history to make things easy.
Event log entries are ignored, so turn them on if you need them.

Step 2 - Get Graphite running

Getting graphite running on your Mac is easy, but it does have a number of dependencies. Since you're running Indigo, and you are reading a github entry, I'm going to assume you either know how to get graphite running (go google) or you are ready to throw down and get these dependencies in order.

Install Homebrew:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
I'm not going to repeat the directions I followed. I'll just link to them and explain what I may have done differently.
I followed this pretty much exactly. Follow these steps to install graphite on OS X Mavericks.
If you don't have pip: sudo easy_install pip

You probably want carbon and graphite to auto-run on startup, right?

For GrahiteWeb (Django instance), I created a LaunchAgent plist to make OS X start it up. Copy these contents to /Library/LaunchAgents/pro.sleepers.graphite_launcher.plist
You also need to do mkdir /opt/graphite/log
Be sure to correct the UserName key! I recommend the same username as where you run Indigo, keep it simple.

    </array>
    <key>WorkingDirectory</key>
    <string>/opt/graphite</string>
  </dict>
</plist>

Run this command to start it up:

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/pro.sleepers.graphite_launcher.plist

For Carbon, it has a start/stop/status script, so I just configure a schedule in Indigo to check it every 5 minutes. It is started if it happens to not be running. You could do considerably fancier things, like turn it into a virtual device you can turn on and off and graph and all that jazz, but meh. Just add the schedule like you see in these screen shots.

Here is the snippet of AppleScript you should copy into the Condition tab:

set ReturnCode to do shell script "/opt/graphite/bin/carbon-cache.py status > /dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $?"
if ReturnCode is equal to "1" then
        log "Starting Carbon"
        return true
end if
return false

Command snippet: /opt/graphite/bin/carbon-cache.py start

Step 3 - Install Grafana

brew install grafana
When it asks if you want to run it on startup, select y.
I think that's all I did. The rest of the configuration is done via UI. It runs HTTP on port 3000.

Step 4 - Install Indigraphs

Well, you're here aren't you? On your Indigo server:

mkdir -p ~/Documents/Indigo
cd ~/Documents/Indigo
git clone git@github.com:davidnewhall/indigraphs.git

You'll need to fix your PATH, like this:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin:/Library/Application\ Support/Perceptive\ Automation/Indigo\ 7/IndigoPluginHost.app/Contents/MacOS/
I recommend putting this in your .bashrc or .profile - whatever works for you.
There is one dependency: sudo easy_install graphitesend
Test it: ./indigraphs.py
No output? It worked. Look in your Indigo Log. You should see something like Script [Indigraphs] Metrics Updated: 1342, Rows Skipped: 1272, Tables Scanned: 58.
Now to make it run every 5 minutes to auto-collect new data. Add another 5 minute schedule to Indigo, like this:
Use "Execute Script" in the "Server Actions" like this:

Step 5 - Setup Grafana and add graphs.

Point your browser to port 3000 on whatever your host is that's running Indigo, possibly http://localhost:3000/
Add the graphite data source. Click the Grafana-logo menu in the top left, select Data Sources and click Add Data Source. Make it look like this:

Setup your graphs. Grafana is a little intimidating at first, but it's not that bad. There's many ways to customize graphs and make it perfect.
Create a new Dashboard next. I named my House Report. In the dashboard, click Add Row and select Graph. Click on the name of the row (Panel Title) and then click Edit, like this:

From here, you can add metrics and customize the dashboard, like this:
