SolarLog Exporter to InfluxDB

This repository contains an exporter for SolarLog Monitoring Systems. The Script does the following operations:

1. Get data from LOCAL or FTP
2. Parse Config file
3. Parse min/daily files
4. Add datapoints to influxDB

After that you can create fancy dashboards for grafana and monitor your PV-System. (my simple dashboard is in this repository under docs/grafana.json)

Getting started:

1. Set Environment variables (e.g. create a .env file):

   # SOLAR-LOG
   SOLAR_LOG_NAME="PV-System"
   DIRECTORY= # if you want to use local files
   VERBOSE=true # verbose helps to debug the application
   
   # INFLUXDB
   INFLUXDB_HOST=influxdb
   INFLUXDB_DB=solarlog
   INFLUXDB_USERNAME=
   INFLUXDB_PASSWORD=
   INFLUXDB_DB=
   
   # FTP
   FTP_HOST=
   FTP_USERNAME=
   FTP_PASSWORD=
   FTP_DIRECTORY=
   FTP_MONITOR_FOR_CHANGES= # if you want to monitor the dir for changes
   

2. Start Docker containers: docker-compose up -d
3. Run Grafana, add influxdb as a new datasource and import the dashboard under docs/grafana.json
