Data logging and visualisation?

On the ECM-1240 I previously used, there was a native Windows application that took the data feed, logged it to a database, provided graphing, etc.
The equivalent of this for the GEM? I found PHP7CI3 in the software downloads, but could not find any documentation. Or is the Dashbox the recommended solution? I have scripting and such capabilities, but I was looking for something more turnkey.
Thanks,
Allan.

EmonCMS/Grafana and BTMon.py is the suggested open source route nowadays.
BTMon.py is pretty easy to get running, it's available on GitHub.

Over in the 3rd party software section you can browse the threads there for config examples:

It translates our packets into different formats.
Grafana is here:
https://grafana.com/
EmonCMS is here:
https://emoncms.org/
They're both visualization software, they connect up-to whatever you decide to data log to and then you define your own graphs.

Thx a lot for the details. I decided to go with the Dashbox for simplicity. Next post...
Thanks,
