Grafana [Dashboard]

[Mikensan]

Just started playing with Grafana, thought I'd share a few of my dashboards to maybe inspire another. I have a couple more monitoring plex and whatnot.

Running everything under docker, works really well. Telegraf pulls data from various sources (vcenter/ipmi/snmp/pfsense/) and shoves it into influxdb. Grafana pulls from influxdb and makes it look pretty.

 

Assuming you create a folder for all your container volumes and create an environment variable for ${USERDIR} you could copy/paste this and go. With 1 caveat - I run traefik a reverse proxy to give Grafana HTTPS (and other containers), so you would delete the labels and just add ports. Oh yea and repleace ${UID} with whatever user id will have access to your container directory. Normally the first user you create within ubuntu is 1000.

 

My docker-compose.yml

  telegraf:
    image: telegraf:1.10
    container_name: telegraf
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ${USERDIR}/docker/telegraf/telegraf.conf:/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf:ro

  influxdb:
    image: influxdb
    container_name: influxdb
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - '8086:8086'
    volumes:
      - ${USERDIR}/docker/influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb

  Grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana:master
    container_name: grafana
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ${USERDIR}/docker/grafana:/var/lib/grafana
    user: ${PUID}
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.backend=grafana"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:grafana.${DOMAINNAME}"
      - "traefik.port=3000"
      - "traefik.docker.network=traefik_proxy"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.SSLRedirect=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.STSSeconds=315360000"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.browserXSSFilter=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.contentTypeNosniff=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.forceSTSHeader=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.SSLHost=mjhnsn.com"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.STSIncludeSubdomains=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.STSPreload=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.headers.frameDeny=true"

Thats nice, i was looking to implement Grafana in my own environment but since I had to move all my servers are packed up in storage so only have my Wifi network and PC right now. I like your idea of doing power and est power cost reporting. Never thought of doing that one

I'd love to take credit but I downloaded somebody else's dashboard which had the cost, just edited the cost per kwh for where I live. vCenter pulls ipmi data so that's what this dashboard is using. Originally I wanted to pull directly from ipmi using the telegraf plugin - but that doesn't work very well within a container.

 

What I'd love to do is move grafana and a couple other smaller things to AWS ultimately.
