Description

Monitoring of various network stats need to be configured and deployed.

Nice graphs!!!

nixinator commented 1 year ago

so doing some more research into this it seems

collectd running on the openWRT AP's feeding back to influx and graphana might be a good option.

It's quite declarative , and the configuration can be built from the single source from the scale-network repo.

We can probably monitor a whole host of other things using this method.

I'll have a play and see what it looks like.

I saw this in the past and it looks like a promising solution, especially if the entire config is declarative :+1:

Let me know how it goes :+1:

Given that were utilizing prometheus a good dashboard starting place might be: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/11147-openwrt/

Closing this as the initial work for getting grafana up and running has been completed. Any discuss around specific graphs should be discussed in #756
