How to install node-red-dashboard to Node-RED on IBM Watson IoT?


I started Watson IoT Platform Starter on IBM Cloud, Node-RED deployed a boilertemplate. Now I remodeled the template node, and got following fluctuating numerical data per inject.

node: cpu status
msg.payload: string[4]
"18.5"

I'd like to draw line graph from these datas. I couldn't find visualization nodes from node list, so I tried to install "node-red-dashboard" but install failed occurred.Where do you think my procedure has problems?

Event log:

2019-09-07T13:52:03.430Z npm install --no-audit --no-update-notifier --save --save-prefix="~" --production node-red-dashboard@2.16.2
2019-09-07T13:52:23.311Z rc=null

Solution

  • This is most likely that the npm process is being killed for using too much memory.

    You can try increasing the memory assigned to your application or enabling continuous integration and editing the package.json file to include the dashboard as a dependency and then restaging the app. This would cause the dashboard to installed as part of the app setup where it should be allowed to complete.
