Monitoring Your Home Network with Raspberry Pi and Grafana
Monitoring Your Home Network with Raspberry Pi and Grafana Build a dashboard showing bandwidth, device status, latency, and uptime. Stack Telegraf — collects metrics InfluxDB — time-series database Grafana — dashboards Install InfluxDB and Telegraf bash Add InfluxData repository per their docs at docs.influxdata.com sudo apt install influxdb2 telegraf -y sudo systemctl enable influxdb telegraf Install Grafana bash ARM package from grafana.com/grafana/download?platform=arm sudo dpkg -i grafana-rpi[version]armhf.deb sudo systemctl enable --now grafana-server Configure Telegraf for Network Monitoring Edit /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf: toml [[inputs.ping]] urls = ["8.8.8.8", "192.168.1.1"] count = 4 interval = "30s" [[inputs.net]] interfaces = ["eth0"] [[inputs.netstat]] Grafana Setup 1. Access at http://raspberrypi.local:3000 2. Add InfluxDB as data source 3. Import Dashboard ID 928 (Telegraf system metrics) or build custom Useful Panels Ping latency to gateway and internet Network throughput over time Device online status (green/red) Interface error counts
