Create an eMQTT dashboard to fit MQT analytics data structure

[bajiat]

Create eMQTT dashboard template in a standalone project first
using either DC.js or NVD3. Use Blaze templating language.

First describe what the user needs and is trying to achieve by using the dashboard. That would help @Nazarah to create a wireframe together with you.

@frenchbread can you please give me the link to access EMQTT charts to see how they look?
Also please let me know if we will be implementing the graphs that are existing in our current dashboard using emqtt?
Or there would be additional new graphs as well.

@Nazarah I am working in https://github.com/apinf/emq-analytics-dashboard. It's a simple meteor app, completely separate from apinf. The idea is to implement a dashboard template for emqttd, so that we can easily move it to apinf.

emq-analytics-dashboard app requires elasticsearch instance running (with some analytics data), I can provide instructions how you can set up the whole environment, but for this issue I think it's easier that I just share screenshots.

@frenchbread Any update on the issue?

@bajiat I was setting up local environment with elasticsearch running on VM, for some reason the old local ES host address got dropped and I need to update network setting on VM so that it's visible on local machine. Also generated some sample analytics data.

Updated https://github.com/apinf/emq-analytics-dashboard repo:

• Changed DC.js to NVD3
• Line chant with Focus chart (zoom In chart)
• Structured code with parsing, sorting and grouping (possibly move then to server side)

TODO: Add filtering (by date, by MQT log type) to the dashboard
