2. (Optional) Enable the Mosquitto Broker to start on boot: sudo systemctl enable mosquitto
3. Start the Mosquitto Broker: sudo systemctl start mosquitto

InfluxDB OSS

1. Install InfluxDB OSS onto the Jetson and complete setup.
2. Import both templates into InfluxDB OSS: Jetson_Stats & Inference_Template

Telegraf

1. Update the following plugins:
   • influxdb_v2 (edge_jetson_stats): Add token (OSS)
   • influxdb_v2 (edge_inference): Add token (OSS)
   • influxdb_v2 (cloud_jetson_stats): Add token (Cloud)
2. Move the file to the telegraf directory: sudo mv telegraf.conf /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
3. Restart the telegraf service. Note make sure your InfluxDB Instance is ready: sudo systemctl restart telegraf

Running

python3 main.py /dev/video0

Grafana Dashboard (Version 3.0 Only)

1. Create a Grafana account and Install the FlightSQL Library

2. Setup the flightsql client like so:
