In this episode, we’re diving into some Python and APIs to visualize data within Grafana. This episode is part of Rowell’s automation journey. He has been learning Python with his daughter.



For Rowell, this is just the beginning as he starts integrating Grafana with InfluxDB and Telegraf. A lot more has to be learned in addition to Python and API.



Within the video, we look into the Mist API and see how Rowell was able to develop a script to pull specific information that could be part of a dashboard within Grafana.
