InfluxDB 1.x Open Source Monitoring Template

Provided by: InfluxData

This InfluxDB Template can be used to monitor your already running InfluxDB 1.x instance. It provides a quick way to get started on InfluxDB 2.0 if you are an existing InfluxDB user.

Quick Install

If you have your InfluxDB credentials configured in the CLI, you can install this template with:

influx pkg -u https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/community-templates/master/monitoring_influxdb_1.x/influxdb1.x.yml

Included Resources

  • 1 Bucket: Telegraf, 7d retention
  • 3 Labels: InfluxDB1.x,Solution,Telegraf
  • 1 Telegraf Configuration: InfluxDB_1.x.conf
  • 3 Checks: Disk Usage Check, Host Deadman, and Memory Usage Check
  • 2 Dashboards: InfluxDB 1.x and Telegraf
  • 3 Variables: bucket, influxdb_host, and telegraf_host

Setup Instructions

General instructions on using InfluxDB Templates can be found in the use a template document.

The data for the dashboard is populated by the included Telegraf configuration. The Telegraf Configuration requires the following environment variables

  • INFLUX_TOKEN - The token with the permissions to read Telegraf configs and write data to the telegraf bucket. You can just use your master token to get started.
  • INFLUX_ORG - The name of your Organization
  • INFLUX_HOST - The URL of your InfluxDB host (this can your localhost, a remote instance, or InfluxDB Cloud)

You MUST set these environment variables before running Telegraf using something similar to the following commands

  • This can be found on the Load Data > Tokens page in your browser: export INFLUX_TOKEN=TOKEN
  • Your Organization name can be found on the Settings page in your browser: export INFLUX_ORG=my_org

You can start Telegraf using the instructions from the Telegraf > Setup Instructions link in the UI.

Customizations

You can easily update the Telegraf configurations to point to a specific InfluxDB 1.x location by setting the options in the InfluxDB Input or the InfluxDB 2.0 Output.
