![]() Telegraf is maintained by InfluxData, the people behind InfluxDB. It can then send those metrics to a variety of datastores, e.g. system statistics, API calls, DB queries, and SNMP. Telegraf: Telegraf is “…a plugin-driven server agent for collecting and reporting metrics.” This can collect data from a wide variety of sources, e.g. It is designed for exactly this use-case, where metrics are collected over time. InfluxDB: InfluxDB is “…a data store for any use case involving large amounts of timestamped data.” This is where we’re going to store our network statistics. We’re going to use this as our main front end for visualizing our network statistics. It works with several different data sources such as Graphite, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, and OpenTSDB. ![]() Grafana: Grafana is “The open platform for beautiful analytics and monitoring.” It makes it easy to create dashboards for displaying data from many sources, particularly time-series data. Background - Telegraf, InfluxDB + Grafana Read on for details about to monitor network interface statistics using Telegraf, InfluxDB and Grafana. InfluxDB and Grafana have also improved a lot. ![]() Luckily it’s now much easier to collect SNMP data using Telegraf. I still loathe MRTG graphs, but configuring InfluxSNMP was a bit of a pain. Two years ago I wrote about how to use InfluxDB & Grafana for better visualization of network statistics.
