influxdata / community-templates

InfluxDB Community Templates: Quickly collect & analyze time series data from a range of sources: Kubernetes, MySQL, Postgres, AWS, Nginx, Jenkins, and more.

InfluxDB Community Templates

InfluxDB 2.0 introduces InfluxDB templates—prepackaged InfluxDB configurations that contain everything from dashboards and Telegraf configurations to notifications and alerts in a single manifest file. Use InfluxDB templates to get a fresh instance of InfluxDB set up quickly, create reusable templates for common setups, back up your own deployment setup, and share your templates with the community.

In true open source spirit, you can update InfluxDB templates with common use cases and share with other InfluxDB users, so they can get started faster, use known configurations, and contribute improvements to templates that benefit everyone in the community.

The purpose of this repository is to promote the creation, sharing, and reuse of templates among the InfluxDB community. Anybody can submit new templates or improvements upon existing templates and use these templates in their own InfluxDB instances.

You can also ask the community to create a template for a specific use-case by creating a Template Request.

Support

Community InfluxDB templates are provided by members of the community. Template authors are solely responsible for supporting their templates. InfluxData does not test contributed templates, nor guarantee their quality or safety. If you have questions about or need help with a specific template, please contact the template author using the contact information provided in the template README.

InfluxData provides and supports the influx command-line tool and influx apply command for importing and exporting template manifests. You'll need the InfluxDB 2.0.0 beta or greater for the influx apply command. For help with these tools, please join our Community Slack and ask for help in the #community-support channel.

Display a legend for all charts displaying multiple lines

Template: All, but especially the MySQL/Nginx, Docker, and Postgres/Apache templates.

Describe the problem
Legends aren't being displayed for charts with multiple lines. As a result, it's not clear what you're looking at.

To Reproduce

For example, look at the Nginx / MySQL template on https://github.com/influxdata/community-templates/blob/master/nginx_mysql/img/Dashboard.png:

There's a chart titled reading/writing/waiting. We see two lines plotted. But it's unclear which line is for reading, which is for writing, and which is for waiting.

Similarly, check out the Apache/Posgres template at https://github.com/influxdata/community-templates/tree/master/apache_postgresql:

There are several lines in the Connections chart. What do they all mean?

In the Docker template (https://github.com/influxdata/community-templates/tree/master/docker) we have a chart titled Number of Docker containers, which multiple lines. I'm guessing each line corresponds to a host, but I can't tell which line is for which host:

Expected behavior
When a chart has multiple lines, display a legend that indicates what each line corresponds to.

Add Jenkins template

Published at https://github.com/influxdata/community-templates/tree/master/jenkins

Add ISTIO Template

We have the ability to install telegraf in a way that will forward istio metrics to InfluxDB. SRE has already created some useful dashboards from this data.

I have created some tasks and an additional bucket, and some dashboards that operate on that data. Left to do:
[ ] Add latency metrics to the bucket
[ ] Add alerts for errors and latency

I will need help creating the actual template, and I have no familiarity with the Telegraf config.

Default token from InfluxDB Cloud can't be used to download Telegraf config

The default token that is created by InfluxDB Cloud only grants bucket read/write permissions, but to download a Telegraf configuration it needs telegraf read/write permissions.

Update Template use instructions on InfluxDB Cloud to instruct the user to create an "All Access" token to use instead of the default one.

Add Apache Monitoring Template

Is your template request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to monitor my Apache servers.

Describe the solution you'd like
a set of configs, dashboards, and checks for monitoring apache servers

Additional context

Set up github PR checks for loading all templates with the latest influxdb

it would be nice if as part of every PR that is opened, the parts of the template that are expected to work with influxdb (the pkgr file) were able to be tested automatically to make sure they are still importable.

This would test all templates, not just the one the user is checking in. This would alert us when a template becomes incompatible due to changes in Influxdb.

Add NGINX template

Is your template request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to monitor my NGINX servers.

Describe the solution you'd like
a set of configs, dashboards, and checks for monitoring NGINX servers

Additional context

Explain how to update the main README when submitting a template

The instructions for submitting a new template don't state how to add your template info to the table in the main README file. One of the steps should be scribing what information to add to this table (real name or username for Author?), where to put your template (how is it ordered?), etc.

Add netstat plugin to Linux monitoring template

Is your template request related to a problem? Please describe.

Not related to a problem. But, the netstat plugin isn't listed in the telegraf config for the Linux template file https://github.com/influxdata/community-templates/blob/master/linux_system/linux_system.yml.

Seems like it should be added, unless I'm missing something.

Describe the solution you'd like

Assuming netstat plugin works for Linux systems and adds useful metrics, please add to the Linux template.

Better error message when improper token used

Is your template request related to a problem? Please describe.

If you try to import a template with a token that's NOT an all-access token, you'll get an error: "Organization not found". This is a misleading error message. It's not necessarily that the org name doesn't exist. It's that the token used doesn't have enough privileges to look up all errors.

For example, my cloud instance has a token that does read/write on all buckets. And, in order to implement least-privilege (i.e., no more privileges than needed), my cloud instance doesn't usually have an all-access token. When I used this token to try to implement a template, I got the "org not found" issue.

Describe the solution you'd like

When a token doesn't have sufficient privileges to look up an org, deliver an error message:

Error: Token used doesn't have permissions to look up organizations. Use an all-access token instead.

Additional context

Although it was template import that lead me to this issue, I found the same problem in using the influx command. So, this issue might be copied, or moved, over to that repo as well.
