daily backup import into grafana

[CorneelSoete]

Use Cases

import analytics and data into a dashboard different from grayjay

Proposal

I have no idea if this is already doable but I have no idea how to parse the .ezip files that are created with the daily backup. If this was just parseable as a zip file, .db file or even straight csv it would make any manipulations on this data possible.

ezips are not really intended for use outside of Grayjay. They are AES encrypted zip files.

Grayjay supports a normal zip export that contains files that are machine (or even human) readable if you parse it (no binaries, all text-based serialization).
Files inside that zip are a mixture of jsons and line-seperated formats. Including a cache used to reconstruct items (video/channel cache).
They are not hard to convert to whatever format you'd like.
