• Grafana will store its data in SQLite files instead of a MySQL.
• Added snmp packages and Synology NAS MIBS.
• Enable

9. In Volume settings, click Add folder and select the first folder that we created, "grafana" and on mount Path, paste /var/lib/grafana
10. In Volume settings again, click Add Folder and select the second folder that we created "influxdb" and on mount Path paste /var/lib/influxdb
11. [OPTIONAL] Environment Tab > Add new variable "TZ" with your local time zone ignore this if you want to use the default UTC
12. Apply, Next, Done and your container should be ready.

Start Grafana

2. You need to import the dashboard. To do this, go to http://YOUR_LOCAL_NAS_IP:3003/dashboard/import and put 14590 in "Import via grafana.com" input
3. Click on load and complete the process

Enable Logging
