mkyb14 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I've been searching high and low for a simple guide that shows how to setup monitoring your Unraid Server, and I can't seem to find something that lists how to do this from scratch. Looking to setup a simple Grafana dashboard so I can monitor the Unraid box, and components. I've installed the following docker images from the CA apps Grafana InfluxDB unTelegraf Grafana webUI loads InfluxDB tries to open up localhost:8083 and gets a failed to open page unTelegraf has no webUI?? I'm solid with VM's, but with docker I'm newer to the setup (hence using pre-made dockers). I can't seem to find a guide in the forums or through googling that show how one would do this with out installing dockers from scratch on their own (which I've not dived into yet for an understanding). Anyone have a site or direction I should be looking at that might help make sense of the steps required to get something up and running ? I just liked the dashboard on this site, and was trying to figure out how to mirror it using the pre-made docker images, and somehow figure out how to create the DB users etc and connect it all. Usually I can find a really good tutorial here, and was wondering if I've just missed it. https://denlab.io/setup-a-wicked-grafana-dashboard-to-monitor-practically-anything/ Quote Link to comment
panzerschreck Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hey! I also had problems figuring out how to setup Grafana, InfluxDB and Telegraf and made a tutorial after I figured it out. Feel free to check it out on reddit! 3 2 Quote Link to comment

mkyb14 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) I get a random error when following the first step in making a dashboard for CPU. Not sure what that means. Log files for Grafana, influxdb and telegraf all seem to be pumping data. I've attached some screenshots. I do see an error with influxdb in the telegraf logs, but googling it has found nothing that I can make heads or tails of. Edited November 14, 2017 by mkyb14 Quote Link to comment
mkyb14 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 never mind... blew everything away, re-did all settings and noticed I missed the port by one number... 8006 =/ 8086 Quote Link to comment
CrimsonTyphoon Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) @panzerschreck, don't mean to bump an old-ish topic, but this is GREAT!!! Thank you for your guide on Reddit, it was very helpful and I am on my way to creating my own dashboards! Even though I couldn't import your dashboard, the pictures of your settings are easy to follow and a great learning tool. :-) Thank you again!

mkyb14 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 anyone setup their dashboard to monitor both docker's and VM's CPU usage? trying to figure out what's hammering the fan's randomly versus using htop in terminal. Quote Link to comment
SavellM Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 @mkyb14 FYI InfluxDB doesnt work correctly on 6.5.1. Its installed and started, but I cannot access it by the browser, and Grafana cant add it as a DB as it cannot reach it either. Unless im missing something but I cant get it to work out of the box.

I just installed 6.5.1 last night and then installed all three. Pretty quick assumption that it doesn't work on 6.5.1. Any errors in the influx logs? Whats your network settings look like for your dockers? Quote Link to comment
SavellM Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Yeah it seems that there is no web ui, but InfluxDB is working, so my bad. Quote Link to comment
guruleenyc Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) I followed this guide and it was on point! http://tinyurl.com/yygmajs9 Thank you @panzerschreck !!! Edited May 16, 2019 by guruleenyc Quote Link to comment
kavo Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 My setup has been maxing out CPU and memory after a few days running for both InfluxDB and Telegraf. I realise that I had not removed HOST_MOUNT_PREFIX from telegraf so I have fixed that however now my usage/free on my /mnt/user folder is not working. I am not sure if this is/is not the cause of CPU/RAM maxing. It only happens after about 48 hours of uptime for the dockers box-diagnostics-20200415-0837.zip Quote Link to comment

I tried to follow your tutorial and I am stuck trying to install telegraph. I am currently running unraid 6.8.2 . I have tried everything changing the network type , editing the host file.change the console shell command and also changing the paths to a folder inside appdata. no matter what I do it still gives me the same error on the picture below.

pfckiko Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 on a side note i found this docker testdasi/grafana-unraid-stack:stable-amd64 has any used it before? Quote Link to comment

Yes, I am using it as are many others. It makes setup of the three containers a piece of cake and also includes Promtail and Loki pre-installed/configured. I personally found this MUCH easier than trying to configure all of them separately. This should not be intended as a knock on any other containers or solutions. It is just my personal experience. EDIT: I am also using the Ultimate UnRAID Dashboard as the dashboard with Grafana-UnRAID-Stack (GUS) Edited December 10, 2020 by Hoopster Quote Link to comment

Were you ever able to solve this? I am stuck at the exact same point Quote Link to comment
Spies Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I need to install Grafana Image Renderer plugin but when I do, the container won't start. I need this so I can link the png directly to my home assistant docker if possible. Quote Link to comment
