With the initial release of VerneMQ we had great feedback from many of you interested in IoT technologies. But we also heard some concerns about integrating an Erlang based product into a rather traditional infrastructure. Why would that be a problem? Do you need to know Erlang to run VerneMQ? No! VerneMQ-as-a-product should provide blackbox MQTT functionality. You don't configure and administer it with Erlang commands or something. But...plugins!
While VerneMQ had many metrics built in right from the start, we never had the chance to show you how simple it actually is to display those metrics. So we'd like to show you today how easy it is to integrate VerneMQ Release 0.12.0 with Grafana, a powerful dashboard composer that allows you to elegantly explore all the VerneMQ metrics.
