hi
im new with Influxdb.
currently I’ve installed influxdb and telegraf agent to collect snmp metrics from my network devices. and visualize them using grafana dashboards.
i want to add some sflow metrix as well (top talkers, top application).
i know telegraf have a sflow input plugin but i couldn’t find a grafana sflow dashboard that supports influxdb.
do you have any recommendations for what is the best practice for sflow metrics?
should i use telegraf?
thanks
@ahiyaz,
I think you’ll have to build a grafana dashboard–However, if you’re open to using the Influx UI for your dashboards, then you might want to check out templates. I encourage you to check out and maybe contribute to the sflow template.
As far as best practices go, the only recommendation is don’t have a long retention period because sflow metrics generate massive cardinality.
