Loxone Exporter via Prometheus

[NPN29]

Hi !
I am a French Loxone Partner and I regularly find my answers here ... except now !
Does anyone know the development to export the data from the mini server into prometheus via API ?

https://github.com/XciD/loxone-prometheus-exporter

I don't know anything about Go ... I try to launch the export with the command "./export --host loxone --port 8000 --user xcid --password test" and it seems to work ... but I don't know how to run this export to prometheus ...
If someone wants to help me then that's great
Thank you for your help !!!!

Hi,
I attempted setting this up also and drew a blank at the same place as yourself. Appreciate this isn’t a solution for Prometheus but in the end I went for ioBroker with the loxone plug-in (https://github.com/UncleSamSwiss/ioBroker.loxone) which was very easy to configure in the UI and have ioBroker export the data I need to influxdb. I then chose grafana for visualisation/reporting/searching of the metrics/logs.
if this also suits what you need and you get stuck setting it up give me a shout, happy to help

Thanks for your answer
I also tried InfluxDB and IoBroker, it works pretty well and it's accessible for newbies !
however InfluxDB doesn't allow visualization via a graphical tool it seems?
Also I wonder because since I test this solution, my MiniServer tends to be a little less stable ....
Have you noticed a similar behavior?

Hi,
You can use Grafana to visualise the data exported from the mini server into the influxdb instance and create dashboards etc with various charts/widgets visualising the data. Couple of examples pulled from some guides below. I’ve found it a good solution and I could get it working unlike Prometheus (due to my own lack of knowledge around what’s needed to run it!). Not noticed any miniserver resource spikes really, it seems to run and perform well even with the data polling from ioBroker

FYI, with a closed group of members, we are already in Alpha stage testing of a new Statistics plugin for LoxBerry.
If you can wait a little bit, you may give this a try without fiddling around with configuration.
The plugin (as possibilities allow) fully integrates to Loxone and is Influx/Grafana based.

Awesome, sounds interesting Christian. Give me a shout if I can help with any testing at all, happy to do so

Fantastic ! If can I help for testing ... don't hesitate

So, while waiting for the plugin of Christian and others, I am trying again with influxDB and IoBroker ... It works BUT some lights are still on even though they appear off on the app !
I never have had this before .... witch leave me wondering with the management of API by Loxone ....
When I have a look on the loxone config debug monitor I see nothing wrong ....

I’d try turning the log level up to debug on the loxone adapter instance and see if the ioBroker logs shed any light - might show an error in reading the state value or something like that? I’ve not had any issues to date
