> Store your openHAB item states in an [InfluxDB](https://influxdata.com/time-series-platform/influxdb) time-series datastore and create highly customizable diagrams with [Grafana](http://grafana.org). These diagrams can in return be included in your sitemap as images. [image] Following this guide, you will install InfluxDB and Grafana, make openHAB store data in an InfluxDB database, make Grafana fetch data from the InfluxDB database and draw diagrams. Finally you can include these diagrams in your openHAB sitemap. Table of Content [Starting Point](#starting-point)[InfluxDB Installation …](#influxdb-setup)
