Telegraf & Influx Windows Host Overview dashboard for Grafana

Telegraf & Influx Windows Host Overview

WindowsHostOverview.png

A pretty (and functional!) dashboard for gaining a deep insight into the state of a Windows host.

The dashboard requires stats pumped in from Telegraf and stored in Influxdb, using the config supplied here - without it you'll find you have a few empty panels.

Inspired by Lex Rivera's Telegraf System Overview and Matt Saunders' Telegraf Windows Instances

Collector Configuration Details

Requires the following stats pulled from your Windows hosts via this Telegraf inputs config:
