Install the Java Runtime from repository

sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk-headless

Download and Install InfluxDB

wget https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb-1.8.10.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum localinstall influxdb-1.8.10.x86_64.rpm
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable influxdb
sudo systemctl start influxdb

Run the influx cli command and create the hmci database.

Download and Install Grafana

wget https://dl.grafana.com/oss/release/grafana-9.1.3-1.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install grafana-9.1.3-1.x86_64.rpm
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable grafana-server
sudo systemctl start grafana-server

When logged in to Grafana (port 3000, admin/admin) create a datasource that points to the local InfluxDB. Now import the provided dashboards.

Download and Install HMCi

wget https://bitbucket.org/mnellemann/hmci/downloads/hmci_1.3.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i hmci_1.3.1-1_all.deb
cp /opt/hmci/doc/hmci.toml /etc/
cp /opt/hmci/doc/hmci.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable hmci
sudo systemctl start hmci

Now modify /etc/hmci.toml and test your setup by running /opt/hmci/bin/hmci -d manually and verify connection to HMC and InfluxDB. Afterwards start service with systemctl start hmci .
