## Introduction
[`Grafana`](https://grafana.com/) is an analytics platform that can provide alternative graphs for `readsb`.
In this guide we will be using [`Prometheus`](https://prometheus.io/) as the data repository.

### Advanced Configuration: support for dashboards for multiple ultrafeeder instances
## Advanced Configuration: support for dashboards for multiple ultrafeeder instances
If you have multiple feeder stations with multiple instances of `ultrafeeder`, you can configure a dashboard for each of them. Here's how. In our example, we have two `ultrafeeder` instance called `heerlen` and `trenton`. You can adjust these names in accordance with your needs.
First execute all steps above, and then continue here.
#### Step 1: Edit your Prometheus config file so the `job_name`s look like this

### Step 2: Change your initial Grafana dashboard to use the new job name
In the previous step, you replaced the `ultrafeeder` job name by two or more new names. Now, we need to create a copy of the dashboard for each of the job names and make sure they each use the data source from the correct `ultrafeeder` instance.

If you have set `READSB_GAIN=autogain`, then the system will take signal strength measurements to determine the optimal gain. The AutoGain functionality is based on a (slightly) modified version of [Wiedehopf's AutoGain](https://github.com/wiedehopf/autogain). AutoGain will only work with `rtlsdr` style receivers.

The Ultrafeeder contains a capability to send MLAT data to MLAT servers to be processed, and to receive the MLAT results and integrate those with an MLAT Hub and the `tar1090` map.
It will create a separate instance of `mlat-client` for each defined MLAT server. The parameters for these `mlat-client` instances is as follows:
