Neptune Apex Grafana Dashboard:

A TIG stack config to monitor Neptune Systems' Apex series of aquarium controllers

Dashboard:

The JSON dashboard can be found within this repo. Import it into your grafana instance.

Prerequisites:

Installed and working Influxdb, Grafana and Telegraf

For newer Apex: Nothing needs changing. My A3 Apex worked right out of the box.

For Apex Classic: "Open XML Access" on your Apex controller should be enabled. This setting can be found in the configuration > Network Setup section

3. Telegraf should be at at-least version 1.9.3 (Credit to Max Renaud)

Telegraf input plugin configuration:

Replace the "apex.lan" with your apex controller host name. Here I am using two Apex controllers.
