Add bars for more device metrics (processes, threads, net stat) #18
Conversation

730-774: RAM query pattern LGTM; standardize threshold mode/steps.Functionally good. Optional: align threshold mode/step values with CPU to make colors comparable across panels.
811-857: Hard-coded disk path risks empty data; parameterize path.Not all Axis devices mount /usr/local the same way. Make path a dashboard variable (e.g., storage_path, default “/usr/local”) and use a regex filter.

NET-Recv shows bytes/s but unit is bits/s (bps). Multiply by 8.
derivative returns bytes per second; panel unit is bps, so values are off by 8x.

In
dashboard-deployments/system-monitoring-influxdb2-flux-grafana/provisioning/dashboards/overview_of_devices.json
around lines 1127-1136, the Flux query returns bytes/sec but the panel unit is
bits/sec; multiply the timeseries by 8 after the derivative/aggregateWindow step
so the panel shows bps, and replace the hardcoded interface filter "eth0" with a
variable reference (e.g. "${net_iface}") so the dashboard is portable; ensure
the multiplication happens before the final sort/limit/yield and update
dashboard variables to include net_iface with a sensible default.

Changed unit to Bps (B/s)
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@daniel-falk Perfect! Changing the unit to "Bps" (bytes per second) is a clean solution that aligns the panel display with the actual data returned by the derivative() function. This eliminates the 8x factor discrepancy without requiring additional query transformations.
The unit mismatch is now resolved. The interface hardcoding ("eth0") suggestion for portability remains, but that's a separate enhancement that can be addressed later if needed.

Learning: When fixing unit mismatches in Grafana dashboards, daniel-falk prefers changing the panel unit configuration to match the data rather than transforming the query values, choosing simplicity over data conversion when both approaches are valid.

1121-1127: NET-Recv: bytes→bits mismatch and hardcoded interface. Convert and template the iface.Panel unit is bps, but query returns bytes/s. Also “eth0” is hardcoded, hurting portability. Multiply by 8 after derivative/aggregation and use a net_iface variable.

Fix misleading title: UDP is connectionless.
Field is udp_socket; “UDP Est.” suggests “established,” which doesn’t apply to UDP. Rename.

In
dashboard-deployments/system-monitoring-influxdb2-flux-grafana/provisioning/dashboards/overview_of_devices.json
around lines 1440-1441, the panel title "UDP Est." is misleading because UDP is
connectionless; update the title to accurately reflect the udp_socket field (for
example "UDP Sockets" or "UDP Socket Count") so the panel clearly describes the
metric, and ensure any tooltip/legend text matches the new title.

What would be a good short name for it? Sockets it too long to fit.

@daniel-falk Looking at the other panel titles in your dashboard, here are some short alternatives that would fit the space:
- "UDP" (3 chars) - Matches the brevity of "CPU", "RAM"
- "UDP #" (5 chars) - The # symbol clearly indicates count
- "UDP Sock" (8 chars) - Same length as "TCP Est.", "NET-Recv"
I'd recommend "UDP" since it's the shortest and follows the pattern of your other concise panel titles. The context of it being a system monitoring dashboard makes it clear this refers to UDP socket count.

1449-1465: Add a dashboard variable for network interfaceTo support the earlier portability change, add a templating variable with a default of eth0. You can later switch to a query-driven list if needed.
Add to templating.list (position doesn’t matter):
{ "name": "net_iface", "label": "Net Interface", "type": "constant", "hide": 0, "query": "eth0", "current": { "text": "eth0", "value": "eth0" }, "skipUrlSync": false, "description": "Default network interface for NET panels" }If you prefer a query-driven list per bucket/device later, we can draft a Flux variable query.

1070-1132: Make network interface selectable; avoid hardcoded "eth0"For portability (per repo guidelines), use a template variable instead of a fixed interface.
Apply inside this panel’s query:
- |> filter(fn: (r) => r["interface"] == "eth0") + |> filter(fn: (r) => r["interface"] == "${net_iface}")Then add a dashboard variable (templating) with a sensible default (see separate snippet below under the templating section).

This repository serves FixedIT Data Agent users across a spectrum from plug-and-play dashboard deployment to advanced edge device customization. Consider whether changes maintain accessibility for both DevOps professionals (server-side focus) and developers (edge customization focus). If new features are added or existing ones changed significantly, ensure documentation clearly explains the intended audience and usage level. We use prettier for formatting of common file formats like markdown, yaml, json, etc. Example projects should be placed in the repo-root in a directory named project-*/. Whenever referencing Axis device model names like "D4100-VE mk II" or "M3045", prefix it with "AXIS" in capital letters (e.g. "AXIS D4100-VE mk II"). When using Axis as a company name, use "Axis Communications", note that all-caps is only used when "AXIS" is used in their product names, not their company name. When using the name of an Axis product, google on the name to verify that it is correctly identified. Avoid using 'cameras' or 'Axis cameras' unless the solution in related to visual analytics, otherwise prefer using 'Axis devices' to show that the FixedIT Data Agent also works with strobes, speakers, door stations, etc. Images used for the README should be placed in a directory called .images/ in the affected project folder. These images might also be referred to from other sources like the top-level README.md file.

942-1004: Processes panel depends on next agent release — consider soft-failing UXThis will read “No data” until the Data Agent exposes processes.total. Optional: add value mappings to display “—” or “N/A” explicitly when null, so the dashboard doesn’t look broken while the PR is blocked.
Apply mappings inline:
"fieldConfig": { "defaults": { "color": { "mode": "thresholds" }, + "mappings": [ + { + "options": { + "match": "null", + "result": { "text": "N/A" } + }, + "type": "special" + } + ],If you want, I can also add a short “Requires Data Agent ≥ ” description to the panel once the target version is known.
1032-1068: Threads panel mirrors Processes — apply same N/A mappingKeep UX consistent while data is unavailable.
- "mappings": [], + "mappings": [ + { + "options": { + "match": "null", + "result": { "text": "N/A" } + }, + "type": "special" + } + ],Confirm the field name will be processes.total_threads in the upcoming release.
1121-1127: Make interface selectable; keep unit as Bps per your preferenceHardcoding “eth0” reduces portability. Add a dashboard variable (net_iface, default “eth0”) and filter by that instead. Unit is already Bps, which aligns with derivative bytes/sec — good.
- |> filter(fn: (r) => r["interface"] == "eth0") + |> filter(fn: (r) => r["interface"] == "${net_iface}")Add this templating variable (outside this hunk):
