A python script for inserting pihole statistics into influxdb

Pihole_Influx

A couple of basic scripts for inserting pihole data into influxdb for graphing.

pihole_influx.py - A python script for inserting records into influxdb.

Configuration options:

HOSTNAME = "ns-01" # Pi-hole hostname to report in InfluxDB for each measurement
PIHOLE_API = "http://PI_HOLE_IP_ADDRESS_HERE/admin/api.php"
INFLUXDB_SERVER = "127.0.0.1" # IP or hostname to InfluxDB server
INFLUXDB_PORT = 8086 # Port on InfluxDB server
INFLUXDB_USERNAME = "username"
INFLUXDB_PASSWORD = "password"
INFLUXDB_DATABASE = "piholestats"
DELAY = 600 # seconds

pihole-influx.service - A SystemD Unit File for starting pihole_influx at boot (and logging) On Centos7, put this file in /lib/systemd/system/.

Run:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable pihole-influx
systemctl start pihole-influx

To run pihole_influx.py from the command line without the startup script:

/usr/bin/python ./pihole_influx.py

I installed this script in /opt/pihole_influx. If you put it somewhere else you'll have to update the systemD startup script.

NOTE: The script pauses for DELAY seconds at start because I had problems with the systemD script if it was started to early. If you know how to fix this please submit a pull request.
