A simple python app to query a FritzBox through fritzconnection and send the interesting results to InfluxDB.
Tested on a FritzBox 7490 with FritzOS 7.12, might crash on other models and/or firmware versions.
The image is available on Docker Hub. Note that it will likely get taken down in the future under Docker's policy to take down images that are not regularly accessed.
Build it yourself:
docker build --tag fritzboxinflux:latest .
docker run --init --env-file env-sample fritzboxinflux
The FritzBox and InfluxDB instance can be selected through the following environment variables. If not given, defaults are assumed.
The easiest way to specify all env vars is using an environment file (e.g. env-sample) as in the example above.
FB_IP
IP address of the FritzBox to query. Default if not specified: 192.168.178.1
FB_PORT
Port used to query the FritzBox. Default if not specified: 49000
FB_USER and FB_PASSWD
FritzBox user and password to authentificate. No default! Must be set.
FB_ID
Name given to the InfluxDB database. Default if not specified: FritzBox
If no such database is present, it will be created.
FB_DSL
Is the connection a DSL connection? Default if not specified: True
For DSL connections, further metrics can be queried.
INFLUX_IP
IP address of the InfluxDB instance to connect to. Default if not specified: 127.0.0.1
Must be set since InfluxDB is not running in this container.
INFLUX_PORT
Port on which InfluxDB is running. Default if not specified: 8086
INFLUX_USER and INFLUX_PASSWD
Credentials for the InfluxDB database. Default if not specified: root:root
SAMPLE_TIME
Wait time in between queries in seconds. Default if not specified: 60
An example for a Grafana dasboard to show the most relevant FritzBox metrics could look like this.

The logo was created in a very simple way in Pixelmator (FritzBoxInflux.pxd). Feel free to make something nicer (without violating potentially protected shapes and color combinations).
