7-10: Improve image accessibility and future-proof the path
The image reference is correct, but consider a more descriptive alt-text (helps screen readers) and switch to a relative path that will also render when the top-level README is viewed outside the repo context (e.g. on pkg managers).- +

60-70: Clarify dependency on Docker Compose v2 CLI
docker compose(with a space) requires the Compose v2 plugin. Some users will still have the legacydocker-composebinary installed. Add a footnote so the quick-start doesn’t fail silently for them.

Documentation files should clearly communicate the dual audience: (1) server-side dashboard users who want to keep agent with bundled configs, and (2) edge device developers who want to customize agent behavior. Ensure examples and instructions are appropriate for the intended skill level and use case. Since this is a public repository, we should not include any sensitive information, the instructions should be easily understandable for a wide audience, and we should avoid using any jargon or technical terms that are not commonly used.

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File
This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc.

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File
This directory contains server-side dashboard examples for visualizing data from FixedIT Data Agent running on Axis devices. These are primarily for DevOps/IT professionals comfortable with deploying Grafana dashboards and InfluxDB servers. Some dashboards work directly with bundled agent configurations, others can be customized. Licensed under Elastic License 2.0. Review for deployment complexity, dashboard usability, and proper licensing compliance. We should make sure that dashboards are portable and does not check in specific host names, or refer to other specific data from a single deployment.

Learning: In the fixedit-ai/fixedit-agents project, when creating documentation that will be converted to PDF (like QUICKSTART_GUIDE.md), PDF output quality and formatting takes priority over GitHub markdown rendering. LaTeX environments like \begin{scriptsize} and \begin{verbatim} should be preserved even if they break GitHub preview, because end users primarily read the PDF versions rather than the GitHub markdown. This prioritizes user experience over developer experience.

Learning: In the fixedit-ai/fixedit-agents Telegraf Agent documentation, the term "real-time" is a crucial technical distinction when describing logging capabilities. The Web UI version provides real-time log viewing, while the system log writes in batch mode at predetermined intervals. This distinction is important for users to understand the different capabilities between application versions and should not be removed as redundant wording.

Learning: In the fixedit-ai/fixedit-agents project, host stub implementations (like in acaps/installer_agent/app/stubs_host/axparam/src/ax_parameter.c) are intentionally allowed to have different default values than device deployments. This is acceptable because host stubs are used for testing and development purposes, while device deployments have their own configuration requirements.

Learning: In the fixedit-agents project, Telegraf logging (like install.success()) and standard logging (fapp_logger_log) serve different purposes: Telegraf logs go to a database for telemetry/analytics, while standard logs go to the device's standard log system for operational visibility. Both are necessary and not redundant.

This commit adds the current version of the system monitoring dashboards for the FixedIT Data Agent. It also adds a license to use for the dashboard examples and some general repo structure to enable future additions.
This commit does not change the logic, but makes the implementation a bit clearer and avoids race conditions.
1) When manually setting the container names, we could not deploy multiple instances to the same host. This commit creates a suffix that is used on the names to allow multiple deployments. 2) Ourobous did not work as expected when running multiple instances on the same host. When one Ouroborus container was stopped, the other also stopped. This commit removes it since we have not tested it enough and validated that it actually provides value.
This commit adds more information to the README file for the system monitoring dashboards with information about which dashboards are included and how they can be used.

5-11: Clarify dual-audience context & add minimal prerequisites
Docs mention “Server-side dashboards” and “Edge device customization”, which fulfils the two audiences requirement, but the paragraphs do not explicitly state who each section targets or the expected skill level.
Consider adding one short sentence per section (e.g. “Intended for DevOps/IT staff comfortable with Docker & Grafana” / “Intended for developers familiar with ACAP scripting”) to make the distinction crystal-clear and keep newcomers from guessing.

74-82: Query may scan large windows unnecessarily
The “Device Model Name” panel sorts the entire time-range (sort…|> first()) to pick the latest row. On a 30-day+ range this will read every point for every device before discarding 99.9 %.
A lighter pattern is to|> last()directly after therange(no sort) or shrink the window (e.g.range(start: -1h)), which drastically reduces IO on busy buckets.dashboard-deployments/system-monitoring-influxdb2-flux-grafana/provisioning/dashboards/overview_of_devices.json (1)
516-519: Row repetition could explode panel count
Repeating the entire row per device ("repeat": "device") is convenient but can cripple the browser when monitoring hundreds of cameras.

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File
This directory contains server-side dashboard examples for visualizing data from FixedIT Data Agent running on Axis devices. These are primarily for DevOps/IT professionals comfortable with deploying Grafana dashboards and InfluxDB servers. Some dashboards work directly with bundled agent configurations, others can be customized. Licensed under Elastic License 2.0. Review for deployment complexity, dashboard usability, and proper licensing compliance. We should make sure that dashboards are portable and does not check in specific host names, or refer to other specific data from a single deployment.

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File
This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc.

⚙️ CodeRabbit Configuration File
Documentation files should clearly communicate the dual audience: (1) server-side dashboard users who want to keep agent with bundled configs, and (2) edge device developers who want to customize agent behavior. Ensure examples and instructions are appropriate for the intended skill level and use case. Since this is a public repository, we should not include any sensitive information, the instructions should be easily understandable for a wide audience, and we should avoid using any jargon or technical terms that are not commonly used.

dashboard-deployments/system-monitoring-influxdb2-flux-grafana/provisioning/dashboards/overview_of_devices.json (1)
90-96: Internal link assumes same UID & root path
"url": "/d/${device_details_uid:raw}/device-details?...couples this dashboard to both the UID constant and a root-path/d/.
If Grafana is served behind a sub-path (/grafana/) or the UID changes on import, the link breaks. Consider building the URL with${__url.pathname}or documenting the assumption.dashboard-deployments/system-monitoring-influxdb2-flux-grafana/provisioning/dashboards/system_overview.json (1)
222-258: 90-day look-back is expensive – expect query slowness on large buckets
last-seenruns a full 90-day range per host, thenlast()andgroup().
On buckets with millions of points this forces a complete scan and high memory use in the query-engine, slowing the whole dashboard.Consider one (or a combination) of:
- |> range(start: -90d) + |> range(start: -30d) // shorter window + +// Or store the last timestamp per host in an aggregated measurement +// and query that instead of raw cpu points.Reducing the window or pre-aggregating keeps the “missing devices” panel responsive even on large fleets.

28-31: Port variables generated bygenerate-env.share not mapped here
INFLUXDB_PORTandGRAFANA_PORTare created by the helper script but noports:section uses them in this override. Verify that the basedocker-compose.ymlmaps them, otherwise external access will fail.dashboard-deployments/system-monitoring-influxdb2-flux-grafana/helper_scripts/generate-env.sh (1)
67-72: Remember to escape special characters when sourcing the env fileThe generated random passwords may contain characters that break YAML/Compose (e.g.
$,`,",').
Wrap passwords in single quotes when writingenv.shor useprintf %qto ensure safe evaluation.

This commit adds more information to the README file for the system monitoring dashboards with information about which dashboards are included and how they can be used. It also adds images of the different dashboards and an overview image to both the top-level README and the monitoring dashboard README.
