Metrics monitoring with Grafana and InfluxDb

Build container with: docker build -t monitor .

Run container with: docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -p 8083:8083 -p 8086:8086 -v /tmp/influxdb:/data -v /tmp/grafana:/var/lib/grafana --name monitor monitor

port 3000 - Grafana port 8083 - InfluxDb admin port 8086 - InfluxDb queries

Login to Grafana with admin@admin

Grafana storage is already configured to local InfluxDb.

The most common element in Grafana dashboard is Graph panel and can be created with this guide: http://docs.grafana.org/reference/graph/

Whole grafana dashboard can be exported into json file and next it can imported from /var/lib/grafana/dashboards/ in another grafana instance. http://docs.grafana.org/reference/export_import/

Write queries to InfluxDb can be done like: curl -i -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=test' --data-binary 'metrics,tag_name1=tag_value1,tag_name2=tag_value2 value=0.78'

Where: db=test is InfluxDb database setting - test DB is already created metrics is name of metrics (table name in SQL) tag_name1 and tag_name2 are names of tags (names of indexed columns in SQL) tag_value1 and tag_value2 are values of tags (values in indexed columns in SQL) value name of value (names of non indexed columns in SQL) 0.78 is value (values in non indexed columns in SQL)
