Looking for something that I'm sure must exist but can't seem to get
my google foo to return. I work in a lab where we have some equipment
and control computers. We can remote into the computers to check
things but thats a bit of a pain so I want to create and external web
accessible server to show a few key statistics (such as temperature,
levels etc...), preferably as a function of time. I have the server
sorted but am looking for some software that has a web endpoint I can
ping from the control computers every hour or so with say temperature
of equipment X that collects it and has a web page I can view plots of
data over time. Seems like it must exist but can't find anything and
don't have the time at the moment to write it myself right now.

I am implementing exactly the same for my lab in these days. I Still
have to begin the "frontend" part but was considering grafana with CSV
plugin for the data log I am producing with a python script.

Yea, that does seem the best approach, everything else seems way more
complex than I really need for this!

I am tempted to try the prometheus approach: sensor -> python ->
prometheus -> grafana. I feel it would be more complicated but more
robust.
