[VicPiMakers SG] Fwd: Re: Pi Makers Mtg

[Greg H]

Sorry Folks, I haven't had much time to attend the meetups lately. I have a
time conflict on both Tuesdays and Saturdays through the summer.

I've been working with Prometheus (https://prometheus.io/) lately as a
means for monitoring systems and Grafana (https://grafana.com/) for
visualizing the time-series data. I know you can instrument an rpi with
some Prometheus exporters and then make graphs and other visualizations,
but I haven't tried this. If anyone is interested in this type of thing,
I'd be willing to do a presentation. With my current schedule, a Fall
presentation seems more appropriate.
