Upon second look I believe I misunderstood the purpose of the project.
I initially thought the project was a subtitute for chart.io. However, it seems like the project is about "collect and visualize data".
It is not to visual data by connecting to your own database. Rather it allows you to import data from an mysql database
- timmclean 12y agoIn case this is helpful: I interned at a company, Polychart, where we built a product similar to chart.io that is now open source and can be self-hosted: https://www.polychart.com/ https://www.polychart.com/
- danmaz74 12y agoLooks really interesting. Have you got any idea why they open sourced it?
- bjelkeman-again 12y agoThanks. Just what I needed.
- pca2 12y agoLooks neat. However it appears to actually only support MySQL, despite it's website's claims
- bjelkeman-again 12y agoMaybe we need to help them get wider support then.
- paulasmuth 12y agoYou didn't mistunderstand the purpose (However it's not an explicit goal of FnordMetric to substitute chart.io) Here is an example that connects to a MySQL database on localhost: https://github.com/paulasmuth/fnordmetric/blob/master/fnordmetric-doc/examples/queries/mysql_backend.sql https://github.com/paulasmuth/fnordmetric/blob/master/fnordm... Note that the IMPORT statement might be a bit misleading. The IMPORT statement only creates a "virtual table", it doesn't actually copy any data. As much of the query as possible is pushed down into MySQL/the external data source and the charts will be generated from the query result that is returned by the external data source.
