tracker

tracker uses awesome open source technology:

• Go
• Grafana
• InfluxDB

Current status of the project

I wrote tracker to play around with InfluxDB and Grafana. I open sourced it so I could write on my blog about the experience. At the moment, the project has the following limitations:

• It works only on mac.
• It tracks only Google Chrome activity.
• It has no configuration so it assumes db name and credentials for InfluxDB.
• It has no logging.
• The default set of categories is too small.
• There is no way to override default categories.

Please have a look at the docs for more details.

Installation guide

At the moment the process is still very manual:

• Install the binary with your preferred system (brew, releases, source code)
• Have InfluxDB running on default configuration locally
• Have Grafana talking to your local InfluxDB instance.

Homebrew

tracker can be installed through Homebrew:

$ brew tap lucapette/tap
$ brew install tracker
$ brew services start lucapette/tap/tracker

Standalone

tracker can be installed as an executable. Download the latest compiled binaries and put it anywhere in your executable path.
