⚡ Ping Monitoring with Grafana and InfluxDB ⚡

This repository contains a simple script written in Bash that performs periodic ping checks on a list of hosts and records the results in InfluxDB. The ping results can be visualized using Grafana. 🚀

Prerequisites ✅

Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system. 🐳

Usage 🛠️

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/OmriYahav/AvialabilityAgent.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd AvialabilityAgent

3. Modify the hosts file with the list of hosts you want to monitor. Each host should be on a separate line. 🖥️

4. Start the Docker containers using Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up -d

5. Access Grafana in your web browser at http://localhost:3003. Log in using the default credentials (admin/12345678). 🔍

6. Configure Grafana to connect to InfluxDB:

   • Go to "Configuration" > "Data Sources" in the Grafana sidebar.
   • Click on "Add data source" and select "InfluxDB".
   • Configure the data source with the following details:
     • Name: InfluxDB
     • URL: http://influxdb:8086
     • Database: hosts_metrics
     • User: admin
     • Password: 12345678
   • Click on "Save & Test" to verify the connection. ✔️

7. Import the Grafana dashboard:

   • Go to "Create" > "Import" in the Grafana sidebar.
   • Enter the dashboard ID 1234 (example) and click on "Load".
   • Customize the settings as needed (e.g., choose the appropriate data source).
   • Click on "Import" to import the dashboard. 📊

8. The ping checks will run periodically based on the configured interval. The ping results will be stored in the InfluxDB database hosts_metrics and visualized in the Grafana dashboard. ⏱️📈

Customization 🛠️

To change the ping interval, modify the TEST_PERIODICITY variable in the Bash script (monitor.sh). Adjust the Grafana dashboard (dashboard.json) according to your preferences and monitoring requirements.
