      @veldthui said in Grafana Dashboard using Telegraf with additional plugins:

      What is your Regex?
      What adapter(s) is your WAN?
      What adapters to you want displayed?

      Please take a look at the github page. There's plenty written up in the Readme

        The regex is as above. My WAN is on the IGB0 adapter as VLAN 10 which shows as igb0.10.

        I want to display this as the WAN which it is doing. For the LAN I want to display igb1, igb1.30, igb1.40, and igb2.
        igb3 and igb4 are not in use at present but may be in future. I have read the readme file but it does not explain it very well. I have only very basic understanding of regex as well

          The content of the "Regex" field is the same as what I have posted to github and it does not match what you are saying.
          Please review the content on Github, specifically the section titled, Configuration
          If the instructions are unclear, please let me know what I can add to make them better.

            Okay I think I have finally worked it out. my regex now looks like /^(?!igb0)/ to filter out everything on igb0 and leave the rest showing. Appears to have worked.
            Thanks for the help.

              any chance of an idiots guide (me = dummy) to installing this lot?
              Tried from your Github page and first problem was the docker-compose example threw errors. So gave up.

                @oldfart The docker-compose is just a quick way to setup influx and grafana using docker and docker-compose. There are tutorials on the internet that show how to set this up, a quick google search will turn up plenty of resources, for example: https://www.homelabrat.com/influxdb-homelab-dashboard/

                      Hi Guys,

                      I have built pfsense with grafana etc. However I am trying to figure it out how to setup addons,

                      https://forum.netgate.com/topic/152132/grafana-dashboard-using-telegraf-with-additional-plugins

                      "Does /usr/local/bin/python3.7 exist on your pfSense system? If so, use this telegraf_gateways-3.7.py"

                      How could I upload this file to pfesense? as I do not see it in pfsense file hierarchy. Thanks for help

                        The addons can be downloaded from the repo - look under plugins. https://github.com/VictorRobellini/pfSense-Dashboard

                        use an FTP program - my preference is Filezilla.

                        Make sure you set the permissions as per instructions - https://github.com/VictorRobellini/pfSense-Dashboard#plugins

                          Looks like this is still working under the new P1 release - just a heads up! :)

                              I would highly suggest reading the linked github page on the initial post and then reforming your question.

                                First of all really love your tutorial and work, i have installed all of the stuff, receiving data in influxDB and connected to Grafana and added dashboard.

                                But,

                                I am not receiving data from pfblocker, i see such as dnsbl log on influxdb but when i expand that o don't see anyting. I am using pfblocker-ng Devel

                                On the Grafana dashboard i see only data from Disk Utlizization. On influxDB i see well CPU/Memory etc..

                                I have uploaded the telegraf plugins using Wincp and gived 0555 permissions using Wincscp.

                                What is really my problem too look up?

                                    Is this correct? I did gived the permission via WinSCP.

                                    2bae2d0e-27a3-49e6-9a28-8185feadfe7e-afbeelding.png

                                    Also i don't get the Downloads/Uploads state.

                                      @erbalo You need to enable logging using the instructions on the github link above and it should point you in the right direction.

                                        @bigjohns97 Just successfully enabled the logs in telegraf and what i am now seeing is lot of entry's in the logs:

                                        D! Grok no match found for: "May 25 17:34:24 ...................

                                        It points to my WAN gateway and WAN interface.

                                        What should be the next too look up?

                                            How easy is change the show the speeds as MBPS instead of MB/s?

                                            This is which i am seeing on your original Git page:

                                            1.png

                                            and this is what i want(downloaded from grafana.com from your dashboard):
