What do you need exactly at the moment? Install the whole Grafana, Telegraf on your side? Please let me know.

Best regards
Weel Jorge, to be honest, and sad, from my part of course ...
The all bunch.. I never used Grafana ...
But as I said, if this is not, yet, the purpose of this, just let me know, and if you can just point me on the right direction.
But will be nice to construct an 'how-to' for this, for the future I guess ...

Best regards.

Hi Jorge,
I wrote about the whole process, in Spanish, here: And then you can follow the Grafana link with the Collector information, tomorrow it goes live the Spanish part about Zimbra, with a lot of details

Hi Jorge,

I've installed a server ubuntu 16.04 with Grafana + Telegraf + influxdb

When I try to import your dashboard it gives me an error:

"Dashboard init failed
Template variables could not be initialized: Datasource named ${DS_INFLUXDB} was not found"

my versions are:

ii grafana 2.6.0+dfsg-1 amd64 feature rich metrics dashboard and graph editor
ii grafana-data 2.6.0+dfsg-1 all feature rich metrics dashboard and graph editor - data files

I've installed Grafana directly from 'apt-get install grafana'

telegraf 1.3.5-1
influxdb 1.3.2-1

Can you advice me on which part I'm doing / made a mistake?

Cheers.

Hello,
Do you have an InfluxDB datasource configured already?

Hello,
That's weird, I guess you can edit the file and change this:

Code: Select all

    {
      "type": "datasource",
      "id": "influxdb",
      "name": "InfluxDB",
      "version": "1.0.0"
},
For the name of your actual datasource. You can paste images using imgurl or other free services to upload pics.

Hi Jorge,

A big reminder.... never skip a step ...

Grafana version installed using 'apt-get install ' is too old ...

I removed it and installed the one from the Grafana repo, and it worked out.

Thanks for the quick support.

Cheers.
