        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.num

            When I tried running that command that was originally in there (your top line) it didn't work.

              Just it should be:

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
                            system

                              @jpcapone This is the best way to troubleshoot the plugins

                                    Looks like you aren't using pfblockerng is that the case?

                                    Are you now getting data on the influxdb side and in turn on your dashboard?

                                      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?
