How to connect TrueNAS Core to InfluxDB?

[apoorv569]

I have a TrueNAS core server that I wanna create a Grafana dashboard for. I found that TrueNAS can export to Graphite and that I can use Telegraf to ingest that data and present it to InfluxDB (which I have already added as a data source in Grafana), but I don’t understand how to configure Telegraf such that it can take Graphite data.

I already have a VM setup that is running Grafana, Prometheus and InfluxDB. Do I have to install Telegraf on this same VM?

Check if this helps:

Sending data to telegraf using graphite protocol

Hey @amalik can you please show the ingestion pipeline as I did not yet get what your producer/sensors are and which protocol they do speak. What I got is producer -- graphite --> Telegraf -- influx line protocol --> InfluxDB Is this correct? If so you probably want to use the socket_listener input plugin with the graphite parser (data_format = "graphite"). On the output side you should use the influxdb_v2 output plugin.
