Summary
Giraffe is a graphing library by InfluxData that works with data from its time series database, InfluxDB. It has features like legends and colorization without much configuration. To get started with Giraffe, you need to set up and install InfluxData, either in the cloud or locally. Then, you can use Telegraf to set up data for your dashboards. Giraffe provides sample projects that demonstrate how to create line graphs using direct API and query API. The first project is a pass-through solution that shows an existing graph from InfluxDB on another page, while the second project allows users to make their own Flux queries.
