Install A Dashboard For Default InfluxDB/Telegraf Metrics

Video Lecture

Now that we have a default config setup for InfuxDB and Telegraf, we can import a dashboard from the community.

I wil use the dashboard with ID 11116.

After importing this dashboard, some of the Network statistics panels won't show any data.

We should also uncomment the inputs.net and inputs.netstat plugins in the telegraf.conf

1	`sudo nano /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf`

Change

[[inputs.net]]
...
[[inputs.netstat]]

Restart telegraf, and check status

The TCP panels in the dashboard will now show data.
