My new Proxmox Monitoring Tools: InfluxDB2 + Grafana 

Just have to say between this and the SSL video, you have helped my step up my game in my homelab HUGE! Thank you for everything you do and bring to the community!

Returned to this video and completed my initial set up of InfluxDB2 with Grafana for my Proxmox server. Always good to use your content for reference. Thanks!

Great Video, I've followed along and was able to get this setup and monitor my 3 homelab ProxMox servers! Thank you for the time and effort!

Again. Packed with tons of useful information and background knowledge. Thank you Christian.

Wonderful. Thanks for showing this. I abandoned InfluxDB a while ago, nice to see that version 2 does work well here. I´ll put a influx2 docker container on my to-do list.

Thanks for the reference to the grafana dashboard, I already had the metrics in influxdb since quite some time, but couldn't find a dashboard I liked, now I do. :)

Awesome, can't wait for the Cert / TLS video. Great stuff as usual appreciate your knowledge.

This is Awesome!! been wanting a nice grafana dash for proxmox but had no idea how to begin to build one myself

Yesss please make that Tutorial!🙏 Oh and btw i Love your Tutorials u explain everything so nice and detailed much respect to you 😄

Great video Christian!

Thanks for this. Touched all points perfectly.

Awesome tutorial, as usual! And yes, would be great that SSL certificates tutorial. Peace. ✌️

Thanks for the great tutorial! To reach a larger audience, I really want to see non-automatic subtitles. I'm watching from another country, and I don't speak the language, but subtitles help a lot!

Danke Christian, kurz und bundig. Ich habe so lange gesucht nach einen weg. Dies ist genau was ich gesucht habe. Viele Grüsse aus Holland

Hi Christian, great tutorial (as always btw ;-) ). I like the way you make your videos and content.

Awsome video, I also tried influx and grafana a few weeks ago and tested if i can put traefik access logs into a dashboard, it partially worked

This is really awesome, thanks for sharing ;)

Great video as always thanks. SSL certs (self-signed) for homelabs will be great ! I always wondered how to move self signed ssl cert and root ca certs for trust on all devices so eveything is nice and trusted in the end from everywhere at home. I can think of manual methods but if there are any automation available will be great.

Absolutely would love a deep dive into SSL both self signed and with Traefik!

Amazin stuff! thank you!

Hi! Awesome video. Thanks!

I do really like watching this content when RU-vid algo recently started showing me this . Can't get enough thanks . .. Only issue is no matter how many videos you say the link to that video is in the description...! IT NEVER IS 🤷🏾‍♂️

OMG - tons of gold nuggets inside! thanks again, Christian

Very good and professional video Christian and very nice and usefull content - thanks a lot for your time invest :-)

Great Video, just what I was looking for....

amazing video!!! I really need to get this deployed!

excellent used this to create a CT in proxmox to monitor my servers

good tutorial, thank you for that! i'l be wait video about ssl!

If you make an API token with read permissions only on the bucket where you store proxmox data the dashboard opens in the right bucket straight away. If you use the admin api token you'll also have access to the default buckets of influxdb like _monitoring and it will default to that.

Awesome! Works great in few minutes. But have you find any native way to include SMART metrics to the flow? I found a way by installing telegraf with a smart plugin but i'd like to avoid installing something to my pve. I try to keep it as clean as possible. As to SSL tutorial, sure that will be very interesting. Such an important topic!

Great vid as always. I did the same setup a few weeks ago but without the SSL, definitely looking forward to that video when you make it :) How did you get the dark Proxmox theme?

Hi Cristian, The SSL tutorial would be great!! Very helpful also the different types of cypher protocol ECDSA TLS ecc..... Good video as always!!. Thanks

I did same few days ago but it’s great you made this video 😀

Hi... Because of the SSL Connection from Grafana to influxdb, the hostname within the certificate is the one thing, but you also need the ca.crt itself in the root of the grafana container, don't you?

Been loving your videos so far... After watching this one for a while, one thing kept bugging me.... What's holding that mic up??? Are you a wizard and using magic? :) Nice setup, since I can't see what's holding it up :)

Thanks for this great video. I have an issue though when displaying the dashboard. Here are 3 errors showing up: Templating: Failed to upgrade legacy queries e.replace is not a function Templating [Bucket]: Error updating options: e.replace is not a function Templating [server]: Error updating options: e.replace is not a function Any idea where this could come from?

yes, please make a video for SSL certificates 📌- great videos !

Looking at setting this up at the moment. For the self-signed cert issue, could you get around that by using traefik, or is that a bad idea?

Hi thanks for the great video, have you managed to setup proxmox and nginx pm ?

非常有趣，学习一下。👍👍👍

If possible Can you please make a video for the integration of portainer and cockpit ? Because I believe this will be more beneficial for DevOps guys

Thanks very much for your nice work Kindly what advantages to use Proxmox instead of Prometheus ?

you look like grew i love it

5:28 I've watched most of your video explaining docker networking, but I still don't understand what you mean by custom dns lookups here? Is the custom network supposed to be a bridge or host network or one of the other ones?

@christianlempa As I couldn't find it mentioned in the comments, you can disable the SSL verification by checking the Advanced box and unchecking the Verify Certificate box.

Excellent video, it is possible to recreate these containers with podman (grafana, influxdb, prometheus) with the same operation. Greetings from Costa Rica

Great now I need to figure out how to get data from sensors for example so I can get temperatures aswell :)

Hey, I'm wondering if Grafana's docker image has brute force protection by default? As much as it is stated as such on their website, just trying to "brute force" it myself conflicts with this. I'm never actually blocked or anything.

It's possible to use this grafana dashbord with a current InfluxDB v1.10 ?

good。

Hey Christian, have you had a chance to check out Grafana Loki too? Its their answer to Splunk, Loggly, etc.

Hi friend, do you have any templates, I use a cluster with replication in zfs, and I need to monitor this

if you had Home Assistant, you would not have to install extras for Proxmox - influxdb and grafana are "the must" for home assistant ;-)

thank you!!! its working but now I saw that TrueNas can use graphite with influxdb and grafana aaannnnddddd its now unsupported since influxdb v2.0 :( what can we do now ? how to add graphite to docker and make it working with influx or directly with grafana ? Im not an IT for your information.

can we get the installation doc's for Ubuntu

@The Digital Life thank you for your video, I did enjoy it. I am sharing some thoughts here: 1. You mentioned, that you will create a separate video for SSL, certificates, I m interested in this video and looking forward to watching it. Thanks in advance. 2. Is there another tool for monitoring the VM from inside the VM's standpoint of view? On the contrary with your current video and illustrations are very good and interesting of course, and it would be monitoring the hypervisor data about those VM, but not about processes running inside the VM. I wondering about a tool to use with Grafana and Prometheus to display information, which you get the different processes running inside VM, the most CPU intensive process inside the VM, and the most RAM intensive process inside each VM or LXC, etc. Here guys, here, everyone, What do you think?, Do you think would be interesting or of some advantage to monitor from inside the VM standpoint of view? or not? and why not? Thanks in advance.

End your virtual disk?

Is it possible to install InfluxDB2 on my Proxmox server and still have it run like you are showing?

Please make a self signed SSL tutorial video!!!!!

can i get cpu temp ?

Great video, you keep going off topic so its hard to follow, you start talking about something and then start clicking on settings etc just a bit hard to follow sometimes

On your youtube homepage can you please include uploads, so that the most recent videos could be found on your youtube homepage

Self signed ssl video please

How…did you get dark mode in ProxMox?????!!!!!!

Not interested in docker crap! Moving on.

Könntest du auch eventuell deutsche Videos machen?

Friend… You are the guy. I luv ya! However; Who is your audience? No… STOP. You are doing a tutorial on something technical… It is directed at someone who is NEW. (N00b). Why are you blasting through screen grabs like you are Roger Rabbit? WHY ARE YOU TALKING SO FAST? Take a breath… you are good… with good information… calm down (or lay off the cocaine). I want to hear what you are saying. I am new (and generally smart), so I need time to process and learn (I am new). Please slow down (or get help). I mean this from a good place.

Hi friend, do you have any templates, I use a cluster with replication in zfs, and I need to monitor this
