TIG Stack

This TIG Stack is done for monitoring a host using Docker containers of Telegraf, InfluxDB and Grafana.

Usage

1. Clone repo

git clone https://github.com/igorrecioh/tig-docker-host.git
cd tig-docker-host

2. Generate folder infraestructure

mkdir -p confs/{telegraf,telegraf/telegraf.d}

3. Generate configuration files

docker run --rm telegraf telegraf config > ./confs/telegraf/telegraf.conf

4. Set up Telegraf configuration as commented before

You can modify these settings as desired. Here you have an example of the simplest ones:

[[outputs.influxdb]]
  urls = ["http://influxdb:8086"]
  database = "telegraf" 
  retention_policy = ""
  write_consistency = "any"
  timeout = "5s"
  username = "telegraf"
  password = "password"

5. Start the containers (-d option can be added for detached mode)

docker-compose up

6. Setup grafana

• First go to http://localhost:3000
• The default value for user and password is admin/admin
• Once you login, you can change it
• Finally, go to Configuration --> Data Sources to set up the connection with InfluxDB
• Done! Now start creating your own Dashboards!

URLs

Grafana URL
