Hi,
the following graphs in the Pi Hole dashboard are not working:

  • Status
  • DNS Queries
  • Number Of Blocked Queries
  • Blocked %age
  • Domains on Blocklist
  • Cached DNS Queries
  • Realtime Queries
  • Realtime Replies

The other ones are working.

This is expected if the monitoring program cannot connect to the pihole-FTL.db.

Okay, how can I troubleshoot this?

Try running the program without the -d. That will give you all the output of the program. There will be an error with sql_influx.

Hi,
I nailed it down to
telegraf | 2020-08-02T18:32:50Z E! [inputs.http] Error in plugin: [url=http://pi.hole/admin/api.php]: Get "http://pi.hole/admin/api.php": dial tcp: lookup pi.hole on 127.0.0.11:53: no such host
I'm not sure where the IP 127.0.0.11 comes from. But the url is reachable in my network, here is the feedback:

I changed the environment variable to my IP address and it works.
That's fine for me.

    environment:
      - PIHOLE_API_URL=http://10.0.1.xx/admin/api.php
