Monitoring Pi-Hole statistics with Grafana
This package was built for the sole purpose of making the installation of grafana, telegraf, and influxdb to monitor a Pi-Hole instance as painless as possible. Typically, a user would need lots of setup on each package in order to correctly monitor Pi-Hole. This package does as much as possible for you. No installing each package, no exposing ports on your machine, and no searching for hours on how to build and copy grafana dashboards. It's all already included here. Just follow the instructions below and enjoy!
You need a working copy of Pi-Hole with its
pihole-FTL.dbfile located at
/etc/pihole/(i.e. this doesn't work out-of-the-box with Pi-Hole Docker containers or special installations). If your Pi-Hole instance is not located there, simply edit this line of code to point to the
pihole-FTL.db.
You need to be able to view the Pi-Hole admin page at
http://pi.hole/admin.
This project will not work on any lite versions of raspbian. The lite versions do not come with all the necessary files to run the stack. See this issue for more details.
(If you have already installed docker-compose skip to step 7.)
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker pi
Reboot!
