First, I wanted to give a big thanks to all who contribute to this: what an excellent and useful system for tracking & displaying sensor data!
I did notice an issue that I thought I should bring up: it might be user error, but it wasn't obvious how to remedy (and I didn't find anything posted when I searched the site):
Dashboard visualizations are stored in the dashboard table with absolute URL's. If the system is moved to a different network segment, of gets a different IP at reboot, the dashboard view still references the original URL, giving errors for all charts.
If this happens to anyone: one temporary workaround is to use an SQL query to replace the old IP with the new IP:
update content from dashboard set content = replace(content, 'old_ip', 'new_ip');
Of course, this only works until the next IP change...
Is there a good reason that the dashboards don't use relative URL's?
