Grafana Dashboard using Telegraf with additional plugins

erbalo · Jan 27, 2021, 8:28 PM

Thank you, which IP should i put here and late the port number 953 ?

server = "127.0.0.1:953"

erbalo · Jan 27, 2021, 8:32 PM

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

@erbalo That server ip and port should be fine.

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

Just it should be:

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.

von Papst · Jan 28, 2021, 2:46 PM

@bigjohns97 got it running. But still missing CPU, memory and system load data. What am I missing?

bigjohns97 · Jan 28, 2021, 2:53 PM

@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

Thanks for that. I was able to figure out the issues with the plugins. Now I am just left with what I have pasted below. Can you please advise?

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?

jpcapone · Feb 24, 2021, 12:41 AM

@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?

jpcapone · Feb 24, 2021, 1:46 AM

@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.
