Setup Instructions

The data for the dashboard is populated by the included Telegraf configuration. The Telegraf Configuration requires the following environment variables

  • INFLUX_TOKEN - The token with the permissions to read Telegraf configs and write data to the telegraf bucket. You can just use your operator token to get started.
  • INFLUX_ORG - The name of your Organization (this will be your email address on the InfluxDB Cloud free tier)
  • INFLUX_HOST - The URL of your InfluxDB host (this can your localhost, a remote instance, or InfluxDB Cloud)

You MUST set these environment variables before running Telegraf using something similar to the following commands

  • This can be found on the Load Data > Tokens page in your browser: export INFLUX_TOKEN=TOKEN
  • Your Organization name can be found on the Settings page in your browser: export INFLUX_ORG=my_org

You can start Telegraf using the instructions from the Telegraf > Setup Instructions link in the UI.

Customizations

You can run the provided Telegraf configuration on multiple Windows machines, and switch between them using the windows_host filter at the top of the dashboard.
