## Prerequisites
Most of the scripts here are [Python](https://www.python.org/) scripts. To use them, you will either need Python installed on your system or you can use the Docker image. If you use the Docker image, you can skip the rest of the prerequisites other than Docker itself. For Linux systems, the python package from your distribution should be fine, as long as it is Python 3. The JSON script should actually work with Python 2.7, but the grpc scripts all require Python 3 (and Python 2.7 is past end-of-life, so is not recommended anyway).

`parseJsonHistory.py` operates on a JSON format data representation of the protocol buffer messages, such as that output by [gRPCurl](https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl). The command lines below assume `grpcurl` is installed in the runtime PATH. If that's not the case, just substitute in the full path to the command.

Then move the resulting files to where the Python scripts can find them in its import path, such as in the same directory as the scripts themselves.

Once those are available, the `dishHistoryStats.py` script can be used in place of the `grpcurl | parseJsonHistory.py` pipeline, with most of the same command line options. For example:

The `-t` option to `docker run` will prevent Python from buffering the script's standard output and can be omitted if you don't care about seeing the verbose output in the container logs as soon as it is printed.
The `dishStatusInflux.py -v -t 30` is optional and omitting it will run same but not verbose, or you can replace it with one of the other scripts if you wish to run that instead, or use other command line options. There is also an `GrafanaDashboard - Starlink Statistics.json` which can be imported to get some charts like:
