        @bigjohns97 said in Help getting unbound grafana dashboard working:

        /usr/local/sbin/unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf

        the command line work on 2.4.5 also,

        the complete command is

        /usr/local/sbin/unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf stats
        

        if you want to try, that "stat" should be added by the telegraf plugin
        now i check if the plugin is the same..
        telegraf is the same version telegraf-1.13.4_1
        it should work

          @kiokoman adding stats to the end did get me the output I was looking for via command line. I did noticed that I haven't updated any of my packages since upgrading to 2.4.5 so I did upgrade and now have the same version as you.

          Did you leave unbound binded to all interfaces or did you select specific interfaces?

            still nothing ater update?
            i have this on my 2.4.5

            2020-04-03T20:00:40Z E! [inputs.unbound] Error in plugin: error gathering metrics: error running unbound-control: fork/exec /usr/local/sbin/unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf: no such file or directory (/usr/local/sbin/unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf [-s 127.0.0.1@8853 stats_noreset])
            

            this is not happening on 2.5.0

            investigation needed...

              @kiokoman still nothing on the grafana side, I tried adding stats to the end of the command, I tried enabling the ping option like you have in your screenshot, nothing gave me the table in grafana, I have even been restarting grafana every time to make sure that wasn't it. I do know that it's resetting the telegraph instance because i can see the tcp session starting over as I am monitoring the session via pftop in the GUI.

              I know it's working because my system stats dashboard is still working just fine.

                uhm i have the same error on my 2.5.0 now.. but idk .. anyway
                i was reading this
                https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/unbound

                ## The default location of the unbound config file can be overridden with:
                # config_file = "/etc/unbound/unbound.conf"
                

                but this does not work because config_file is not defined inside pfsense plugin

                binary = "/usr/local/sbin/unbound-control"
                

                this work but if you add -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf it's unable to execute the command

                the only workaround i found is to create a symlink inside the unbound-control default directory...

                -c file       config file, default is /usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf
                

                the workaround is as follow:

                rm /usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf
                ln -s /var/unbound/unbound.conf /usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf
                

                inside
                telegraf on pfsense
                Additional configuration for Telegraf:

                [[inputs.unbound]]
                binary = "/usr/local/sbin/unbound-control"
                thread_as_tag = false
                

                to test the plugin:

                /usr/local/bin/telegraf -config=/usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf --test --input-filter unbound
                2020-04-03T20:57:16Z I! Starting Telegraf 1.13.4

                ah i found out what i was doing wrong, my bad sorry, as i said i started to use this only yesterday... the old pictures were about bind9 not unbound 😂 😂

                  I was able to get it working after doing the symlink what a crazy solution.

                  I am still interested in using the original dashboard I posted about along with a security based one that I found on reddit.

                    I do not know what is more crazy honestly, in the link you posted requires you to tamper with different system configurations that reset when you update pfsense,
                    this has been added to telegraf 4 month ago so it will eventually work on pfsense when they upgrade the package

                    ## The default location of the unbound config file can be overridden with:
                    # config_file = "/etc/unbound/unbound.conf"
                    

                    and when this happens there will be no need for the symlink, keeping the system clean

                      Hi,

                      I tried what you said, but dispite the conf file with

                      Unbound Statistics
                      statistics-interval: 0
                      extended-statistics: yes
                      statistics-cumulative: no

                      the stats is cumulative, which is no good for influx. How did you manage to make it not cumulative ?
