      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.

                  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?

                                      @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.

                                            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.
