TICK Stack Dashboard
Building a dashboard using the TICK Stack
- Telegraf
- InfluxDB
- Chronograf
- Kapacitor
Arch:
Getting Started :
Default Ports:
- Telegraf
does not expose ports by default. It will not expose ports unless you have a service plugin enabled
- InfluxDB
:8086
- Chronograf
:8888
- Kapacitor
:9092
Telegraf can also collect metrics via the following service plugins:
CPU, DISk, MEM (Default Example)
http_listener
kafka_consumer
mqtt_consumer
nats_consumer
nsq_consumer
logparser
statsd
socket_listener
tail
tcp_listener
udp_listener
webhooks
- filestack
- github
- mandrill
- rollbar
Docker Images:
- Telegraf
docker pull telegraf
- InfluxDB
docker pull influxdb
- Chronograf
docker pull quay.io/influxdb/chronograf:1.8.6
- Kapacitor
docker pull kapacitor
Using Docker :
easaier setup than downloading
# Make sure Docker installed
cd Docker
docker-compose build # First time only, it will pull the images and build the containers from the images.
docker-compose up #if not built, it will auto-build first then run the containers.

Chronograf
# then
Kapacitord
in the influx
terminal, run SHOW DATABASES

- to view the dashboards :
in the browser visit localhost:8888
username:user
, password:pass
TO DO
- will try different data sources NATs, Kafka, StatsD, SalesForce, Webhooks, OpenSMTPD, Kibana ...etc, Check more input plugins for Telegraf
- Build different Dashboards for Different sources, Check other pre-built dashboards
- and different DataViz types
- will add a clustered Kapacitor and InfluxDB using Docker Swarm in
./Docker/Cluster
- will add a clustered Kapacitor and InfluxDB using Kubernetes in
./Docker/Kubernetes
- will try and add Garafana
and Prometheus - will try and Build a Vue app to show the Dashboard elements
