Monitoring with InfluxDB + Grafana

https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/11858

A docker-compose script for ingesting collectd output from OpenWRT to InfluxDB, and using Grafana to build pretty dashboards.

It's networked, so it doesn't need to be run on the same machine as OpenWRT, but it probably should.

Steps

On OpenWRT

• Install collectd and any additional plugins you want (collectd-mod-*) on OpenWRT, plus luci-app-statistics for configuration from LuCI

# opkg install luci-app-statistics collectd

• Set up network export (make sure LAN_HOST is set)

# cat <<EOF | uci batch
set luci_statistics.influxdb=collectd_network_server
set luci_statistics.influxdb.port='25826'
set luci_statistics.influxdb.host="${LAN_HOST}"
EOF
$ uci commit
$ /etc/init.d/luci_statistics restart

On host

• get types.db (not sure if this is totally necessary)

$ scp openwrt.home:/usr/share/collectd/types.db \
  influxdb/

• from the host, launch InfluxDB and Grafana

$ docker-compose up -d
