Hi @denzelm5 thank you for the report! Would you mind sharing a copy of your latest log file in C:\BlueIris\log? I'll dig in and try and get a fix pushed up this week.

Thanks for the log, it will make things much easier. At initial glance, it looks like Blue Iris has added some additional logging that the exporter doesn't know how to parse. I've been running mine as a Windows service, so I haven't noticed, but now that I look, it's doing the same thing for me. Feel free to install it as a service if you want to ignore it now as well.

Good news is, it should be a somewhat easy fix. I'll work on it a bit this week and should have something for you soon!

Testing a fix, if all goes well, I'll push it up tomorrow!

@denzelm5 I've released a fix: https://github.com/wymangr/blueiris_exporter/releases/tag/v1.2.1 as well as a update to the dashboard. Let me know how it goes!

Hi, Thank you very much. I have updated the collector, I dont get the error anymore . As this is the first time running the collector , was it suppose to like the below ? I also need to ask, In the grafana server import dashboard, i see the connection requires a Prometheus datasource ? How do you get this working as im writing the data to a bucket....

@denzelm5 Looking at the output of the command prompt window on the right, that is what it's supposed to look like. As for the powershell script, I'm guessing you are converting the prometheus metrics to influxdb? Unfortunately, I don't use influxdb, so I can't tell you if that's correct.

As for the Grafana dashboard, the one I have included in this repo and the one I maintain is for the Prometheus data source as that was the intended use for this exporter. However, I did have one other person who used influxdb and I did create this dashboard as well:

https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/17456-blueiris-influx/

It's out dated, and I don't currently have plans on setting up an influxdb to update it, but it could help as a starting point?

@denzelm5 Hey, just wanted to check in and make sure everything is working for you?

denzelm5 commented 11 months ago

Hi Garret, Sorry for not providing feedback sooner. The new version worked from BI to Influx, however the Grafana Dashboard for some reason didn't populate all values.

Regards Denzel

@denzelm5, that's good that the exporter is working! Like I said, unfortunately, the dashboard I support is for the Prometheus Data source, so I won't be able to help you much with an Influx dashboard other then the one I provided you. If you end up building a dashboard for influx, let me know and I can share it :)
