    Attached is an image of the lower part which should show the WAN and LANs. It shows the WAN but does not look right and does not show the correct LANs

      @veldthui Can you share how you have the interfaces defined in the grafana variable config?

        @VictorRobellini Okay I worked out that the WAN only had one of the values multiplied by 8 to change it to bytes. Changed the other and it looks okay now.

        Below is the definition which is how it was downloaded. If I add a $ to igb1, igb2, and igb3 I can then see the igb1.30 and igb1.40 networks but not igb1 and igb0.10 should not be in the list as that is the WAN.

          @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

            @VictorRobellini

            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

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

                            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.
