A self contained network monitoring system

This is a simple network monitoring system using the stack Telegraf-Influx-Grafana.

System runs on docker containers managed by docker-composer.

Influxdb setup

Using given configuration Telegraf will create its database on influxdb server.

If you need to customize influxdb this is the docker way:

server1$ docker run --rm \
  -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=admin \
  -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=supersecretpassword \
  -e INFLUXDB_USER=telegraf -e INFLUXDB_USER_PASSWORD=secretpassword \
  -e INFLUXDB_DB=telegraf \
  -v influxdb-vol:/var/lib/influxdb \
  influxdb /init-influxdb.sh
