[Check_mk (english)] Grafana Support

I’m pretty new to OMD, but I’ve managed to my multisite Check_MK up and running across 2 sites. I see OMD supports Influxdb and Grafana, which I have enabled in place of PNP4Nagios but I can’t seem to get any visualisations in Check_MK and no data seems to be going into the InfluxDB. Does Check_mk currently support Grafana/Infludb?

Regards

Gavin

This is only available in the Enterprise edition. :slight_smile:

It’s quite straight forward to configure yourself using PNP4Nagios, Nagflux, InfluxDB and grafana.

Thanks for the advice Paul, I’m running OMD so nagflux is installed and I followed the OMD instructions as best I could. I just don’t know how to confirm data is going into the InfluxDB or what the action URL syntax should be to view that data.

So do you have Check_MK Enterprise or Raw?

Did you add the InfluxDB as a datasource in Grafana?

To see if your InfluxDB has any measurements, simply log into to it and type SHOW SERIES

I think Gavin is using the OMD distribution from Consol and then there the Labs version.
This OMD distri has already included all components like Influx and Grafana.

Best regards

Paul, I have RAW version that shipped with OMD (labs). I’ve confirmed I’m getting data into the influxdb, and have managed to decipher an action URL to get some meaningful graphs out of Grafana. However, it looks like I have a steep learning curve to try to create my own Grafana dashboards from this data, so I think I’ll stick with PNP4Nagios for the time being as at least it’s seamless and integrated. I’m guessing improved Grafana support will come in future releases of OMD.

Thanks for your help.

Correct Andreas, I’m using the OMD-Labs bundle. I’ve got data coming into the influxdb but I’m too inexperienced to actually create any meaningful dashboards. I’ll stick with the native PNP4Nagios integration with Check_MK until either the Grafana integration matures, or I do :wink:

Great. Yes it can take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it the dashboards can be very nice.
