Hello from a group of Italian citizens interested in environment and environmental measurements

Dear Martino,

thanks for telling us more details about your goals.

Unfortunately, we are not able to permit direct access to the InfluxDB databases we are operating on our servers to a wider audience in order to keep tight control over the system load eventual queries might be doing there. The thing we have been talking about on https://community.hiveeyes.org/t/querying-our-influxdb-databases-interactively/1372 is really just meant for providing direct access to our databases within the relatively small beekeeper community around Hiveeyes.

However, the https://github.com/panodata/luftdatenpumpe program might help you significantly in order that you don’t have to get into parsing the CSV files on your own behalf. Its machinery is pretty mature and is being used to drive parts of our infrastructure around processing and visualizing air quality information.

These days, Luftdatenpumpe is also being used elsewhere – see also Supporting the Flanders Environment Agency (VMM) by analyzing and visualizing air quality sensor data with InfluxDB and Grafana. In order to have a look at what we already have been doing for VMM, you might want to have a look at https://vmm.panodata.net/, which might well resonate with you.

Saying this, we will be happy to support you spreading the word and reusing parts of our infrastructure to provide the things we are doing to a wider audience in general. So, we are happy that you approached us about these details and look forward to hear anything what comes to your mind about this.

With kind regards,
Andreas.
