Thanks! Ok, so prometheus is the daemon, with prometheus-node-exporter a way of exposing the data that it creates (to get the data to a place that Grafana can read it). So we are adapting infrastructure primarily designed for accessing data from CPUs, CPUs etc. Sort of like "Activity Monitor" on the mac.
Re-reading these great notes: the parts that read the data from the inverters starts to come at the end of https://diysolarforum.com/ewr-carta/grafana_configuration/
Links to SolarShed and there I can see the scripts that implement the data collection, eg.:
These use some combination of raw serial modbus processing and libraries to get the data, right? e.g., the mpp-solar script says that it assumes that you have the mpp-solar package installed. Which is here: https://github.com/jblance/mpp-solar although that seems to work for a much broader range of equipment than just mpp-solar
I have Jakiper batteries, so I would need something like this: https://github.com/ClassicDIY/PylonToMQTT although that seems to use a different "publisher" called MQTT (so I'm guessing that MQTT is roughly equivalent to prometheus here).
Anyway, not really a question, just writing down as I try to figure out the great stuff everyone has been doing.
