Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/jersonmartinez/docker-compose-influxdb-telegraf-grafana.git
cd docker-compose-influxdb-telegraf-grafana

Deploy the Stack

docker-compose up -d

Detailed Setup Guide

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/jersonmartinez/docker-compose-influxdb-telegraf-grafana.git
   cd docker-compose-influxdb-telegraf-grafana

2. Start the Services:

   docker-compose up -d

3. Verify the Services:

   docker-compose ps

4. Access Grafana:

   • Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000
   • Default credentials: username and password are both admin

Using the Repository

Configuring Telegraf

• Telegraf configuration files are located in the telegraf directory.
• After modifying the configuration files, restart the Telegraf container:

  docker-compose restart telegraf

Viewing Metrics in Grafana

1. Open Grafana and add InfluxDB as a data source.
2. Create dashboards and panels to visualize the metrics collected by Telegraf.

Telegraf Configuration for Different Environments

We provide detailed guides for configuring Telegraf in various environments:

• Telegraf on Ubuntu
• Telegraf on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) - Debian
• Telegraf on Windows
• Telegraf in Docker

For a comprehensive explanation of Telegraf configuration across different platforms, refer to our Telegraf Configuration Guide.

Service Descriptions

1. InfluxDB: A time-series database designed for high write and query loads, used to store metrics collected by Telegraf.

2. Telegraf: An agent for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing metrics. It gathers data from the host and Docker containers, sending it to InfluxDB.

3. Grafana: A web-based interface for visualizing metrics stored in InfluxDB, allowing creation of dashboards and panels for monitoring.

4. Nginx: A web server providing static content serving and request proxying capabilities.
