Open the Wiki

I don't see any edit buttons on the wiki. I'd be happy to contribute and fill in some of the blanks I encountered + seen in the issues tracker, while trying to figure out how this plugin works with the limited info available.

Awesome plugin, but sorely lacking in how-to's. @neuralfraud

Hello @angela-d the wiki is really lacking, I've been trying very hard to get this to work and I can see the how-to is not really connecting. Please can you point out some of the steps you took to get it to work? I have been able to integrate the grafana with my prtg server after battling compatibility issue with grafana version (working now with version 4.2.0).

I'm eagerly waiting for your response. Thanks

@henro4niger
I've been documenting what I'm learning from the plugin, every step of the way.

Here are my notes: https://github.com/angela-d/brain-dump/tree/master/grafana-prtg

Hello @angela-d thank you for your swift response I have made considerable progress with your documentation, I've set my first dashboard! However, I integrated my mikrotik router flow monitor with PRTG but I can't pull up "top talker" information from grafana. Can you help me with this?

[angela-d]

@henro4niger I can certainly try!

Can you take screenshots of:

1. Query page from Grafana dashboard with the info you are trying to pull from PRTG
2. Screenshot of the PRTG Channel/Sensor info you're trying to pull into Grafana

I added a troubleshooting section to my notes last night. If you've not tried this stuff, see if any of these possibilities are what's causing it not to work.

Thank you so much @angela-d I have uploaded the screenshots as you requested https://github.com/henro4niger/Prtg-grafana I need the "Top talkers", "Top connections" and "Top protocols" in a tabular form in Grafana. The information in the "Channel" screenshot I uploaded is not useful to me, hence, the traditional sensor>channel option in grafana is of no use in my case.

I'm eagerly waiting for your response and I appreciate the help

@henro4niger I want to help you too, but how to view your screenshot?

[henro4niger]

Hello @angela-d github kind of messed up with the link to my repository by here it is https://github.com/henro4niger/Prtg-grafana

Based on what I can see from the screenshot:

On the query page (this one: https://github.com/henro4niger/Prtg-grafana/blob/master/Screenshot%202020-01-31%20at%2005.51.44.png ) in the Group field, you want to enter the Group this sensor belongs to. I don't see in your screenshot, what that could be.

Here's how I'd suggest to figure out what group this device belongs to:

• On the sensor page, the breadcrumb bar:
  Linux is the group of this sensor.

• So you'd want to set up the Query page, like so:
  

If you want to "group" the channels, you do the query similarly as to above, but then click the "Add Query" button at the top of the Query window, add another channel.

Here's an example -- I have all of the available memory sensors from both Windows + Linux machines displaying together:

^ Based on your description, this is what you're trying to do. Instead of picking the same channel (like I did) for each query, select "Top talkers", "Top connections" and "Top protocols"

If you mean they are not in PRTG as channels, then I'd need to see a more detailed screenshot from PRTG (just erase any private info in Paint or Krita) to see what you'd have to enter to pull those records.

need the "Top talkers", "Top connections" and "Top protocols" in a tabular form in Grafana.

I'm not fully sure what you're referencing by tabular form, if you mean appearance, you can change that after you finish the Query. Click that circular/round "Picture canvas" button beneath the orange/yellow gradient database icon (in the Query window) and you can change it from a graph to some other kind of output display.
