Hi All,
I am having trouble configuring VictoriaMetrics for storing long-term sensor data.
I am fairly new to HomeAssistant, possibly just missing some trivial things.
I use a HomeAssistantOS installation (KVM on Linux) which is accessible on the local network as homeassistant.local (on IP 192.168.1.114)
The main problem is that I think I have configured everything correctly, but the Explore function of Grafana shows “No Data” when I try to query the default “value” from “measurement” query.
What I have done so far:
Installed the the VictoriaMetrics Addon via the UI
Configuration:
retention: 99y
additionalArguments: ""
enableHTTPAuth: false
username: ""
password: ""
enablePrometheusScrape: false
prometheusScrapeHTTPS: false
prometheusScrapeInterval: 20s
prometheusScrapeTimeout: 15s
longelivedToken: ""
homeassistantUrl: ""
port exposed: 8428 (default)
Installed the InfluxDB integration
By configuring it in configuration.yaml using the (File editor) plugin.
...
# Victoria Metrics via the InfluxDB interface

api_version: 1

...
Restarted Hass
In order for the InfluxDB setting to take effect.
Afterwards, I have checked the homeassistant.log file with the File editor and I did NOT see anything related to InfluxDB or VictoriaMetrics in it.
How could I investigate / debug what is happening ?
Any help is appreciated !
