[May 19 – May 27]

The last week I had my internal exams so was busy, hence updating a little late. Today the community bonding period ends. Will start working on my gsoc project from now onwards.

List of PRs I have worked on after the suggestion by my mentors, which are ready for review:

          Not merged yet:

Issues I will be working on next week:

• https://github.com/openwisp/django-x509/pull/140 (This needs a little more time to close the issue completely, so will do but will give it a less priority as of now.)
• https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-monitoring/issues/274 - GSoC project. (Drafted a doc for it already, will start working on it this week)

[June 1 – June 7]

Draft PR I have worked on :

• Version support for InfluxDB 2.0 . This week, I uploaded a sample dataset using influxdb client library, wrote data and query and uploaded device metrics data to the InfluxDB UI using Telegraf too to visualize more. The focus has been on setting up and testing initial data integrations. Moving forward, I plan to continue integrating and loading all the data to enhance the monitoring capabilities and data visibility within the UI.

[June 7 – June 14]

Draft PR I have worked on :

• Version support for InfluxDB 2.0 . This week, I was able to connect openwisp with influxdb 2 instance locally without using docker with the help of my mentors and worked on the failing qa checks. Moving forward, right now I am working on failing tests that I have added, and on generating charts when we add a device. 
  I will move forward with this same plan so that as we load data, we can look for other aspects of influxdb 2.0 and other additions we have to do to complete the support.

[June 15 – June 21]

PR I have worked on :

• Version support for InfluxDB 2.0 . This week, I was able to write, query, delete and again write data on local server of influxdb:8086. Moving forward, I am still working on chart generation, after that I will start working on leftover parts like tests, base file, abstract layer, etc to handle both versions simultaneously when I am able to see different health status for ping check.

[June 22 – June 28]

PR I have worked on :

• Version support for InfluxDB 2.x. This week, I worked upon code correction, instead of using settings functionality directly into my codebase , implemented a dynamic backend selection mechanism to seamlessly switch between InfluxDB versions 1.8 and 2.x. 
  My sole focus would be on charts generation and then testing for next week, to get my PR ready for testing and review by my mentors.

[June 29 – July 5]

PR I have worked on :

• Version support for InfluxDB 2.x. This week, I was able to get the charts for "uptime", "packet loss" and "rtt" along with the summary for openwisp-monitoring, next I will move towards code refining and correction and getting the charts and it's summary 100% perfect.
