Should that be ok so?
#!/bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf $* | grep -vE 'thread[0-9]+' unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf stats_noreset | grep total.numWhen I tried running that command that was originally in there (your top line) it didn't work.
Just it should be:
#!/bin/sh unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf stats_noreset | grep total.num?

That is what I am running, correct, and it didn't affect any other metrics.

I don't receive any data to grafana, what can be wrong?

Make sure the data source and table is the same on your side as what I posted.
@erbalo copy the JSON from above again I replaced some of my entries with variables so be more plug and play.

@bigjohns97 got it running. But still missing CPU, memory and system load data. What am I missing?
-
@von-papst This is just a single panel, add it to the dashboard being developed in this thread.

I think I am late to the party but I am trying to figure some things out. I am running pfsense in a vm on esxi 6.7. I was able to figure out enough to get most of the panels working but I think the scripts arent working. I am not super familiar with FreeBSD so I am finding it difficult to determine how to test run the scripts so that I can remediate. I am pretty sure the scripts arent running because all of the panels aren't populated with data and when I do a show measurements on the DB I get only the entries listed below. Any advice would be appreciated.
cpu
disk
diskio
mem
net
pf
processes
swap

@jpcapone This is the best way to troubleshoot the plugins

Are you now getting data on the influxdb side and in turn on your dashboard?
-
@bigjohns97
yup, I am getting data but I am still not seeing the same measurements in my DB that you see in the in the troubleshooting section. Also, I had to turn on pfblockerng and now but I am still not getting any data from it in grafana. Any suggestions?
-
@bigjohns97 I think I got it. No data was being generated because I wasn't surfing after I set up pfblockerng. I am very new to this as you can tell. Thanks for your help!!!!

I've made some updates to the dashboard. I would love feedback.

You didn't like my unbound cache hit panel above?
-
More updates and bugfixes
telegraf config update required! Please read this in the Readme or things won't work
I updated the parser for the pfBlocker logs. It now uses the non-deprecated tails plugin and also fixes parsing errors that prevented data from being inserted into the influxdb.

@bigjohns97 said in Grafana Dashboard using Telegraf with additional plugins:
The extra panels are great, but it's not something I use and since I don't know how to properly partition and rollup influx data, I haven't implemented the unbound data. If influx had an automatic rollup like RRD, I would absolutely include it. I'm just being mindful of database growth.
-
I went back to poke around the unbound plugin, it seems to be working fine without the wrapper. I read through the plugin docs to find a use case for collecting the data and showing metrics, but there's just soo much data and I can't think of a use that would justify the additional collection and overhead. Here's your panel in template format and additional telegraf config:
Telegraf config
[[inputs.unbound]] server = "127.0.0.1:953" binary = "/usr/local/sbin/unbound-control" config_file = "/var/unbound/unbound.conf" timeout = "1s" thread_as_tag = trueGrafana 7 graph

Here's a plugin - telegraf_unbound_lite.sh - that pulls in just the metrics associated with your graph. It uses the same structure as the unbound plugin but the names use "." rather than "_", other than that, it's a drop-in replacement.
Just add it to the telegraf config under the telegraf_temperature.sh entry.
