Please feel free to send me your complete project.
Feel free to come set it up for me as well. I’ll feed you and only abuse you a bit.

@jgiese.wci would be proud 
Are all 3 needed for Epicor, or are you getting data from other sources as well?

They have a new plugin for JSON built in that works on these latest versions. I have been slowly replacing my Direct DB and SimpleJSON calls with that plugin.
Xibo is great, but on the latest version if you use manual DataSets for anything beware it’s fickle. They broke something.

I forgot to bend your ear last week. 
, but no matter, probably be next year before I get caught up to that project anyway. 
I might do my Data Collection presentation again next year if I go. I didn’t present this year just went to soak it all in instead.

I’m sharing my initial docker compose and telegraf config. Once configured, this should allow you to create dashboards from MQTT IIoT devices. I’ve included a simple python mqtt-publisher.py acting as a ‘fake sensor’ that injects data. You can follow the readme to troubleshoot your way through.
Regarding dashboarding data for Epicor data, I think it is best to make queries directly at Grafana (so you don’t need to boot Emqx, Telegraf, nor Influx). To do this using the current Grafana-oss, you can create a new Data Source using the “Infinity” plugin. Setup the connectivity by filling in credentials: at the Basic Authentication tab (your login credentials) and Bearer Token tab (your API key). You should be able to test your connection with “health check”.
