Configuration

Grafana

The Config for the dashboard relies on the variables defined within the dashboard in Grafana. When importing the dashboard, make sure to select your datasource.

Dashboard Settings -> Variables

WAN - $WAN is a static variable defined so that a separate dashboard panel can be created for WAN interfaces stats.  Use a comma-separated list for multiple WAN interfaces.

LAN_Interfaces - $LAN_Interfaces uses a regex to remove any interfaces you don’t want to be grouped as LAN. The filtering happens in the “Regex” field. I use a negative lookahead regex to match the interfaces I want excluded. It should be pretty easy to understand what you need to do here. I have excluded igb0 (WAN) and igb2 (only used to host vlans).

After writing this up, I realize I need to change this variable name, it’s just not going to happen right now.

Telegraf

Telegraf Config

In the /config directory you will find all of the additional telegraf config. In pfSense, under Services -> Teltegraf, at the bottom of the page with the teeny tiny text box is where you paste in the included config.

I also included the config for Unbound DNS and it’s commented out. I’m not currently using it, but it’s fully functional, just uncomment if you want to use it.

Plugins

Plugins

I put all my plugins in /usr/local/bin and set them to 555

To troubleshoot plugins, add the following lines to the agent block in /usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf and send a HUP to the telegraf pid.

debug = true
quiet = false
logfile = "/var/log/telegraf/telegraf.log"

I also included a wrapper script for Unbound DNS. I’m not currently using it, but it’s fully functional.
