Proxmox graphs and data in Grafana

In this video i walk through how setup influxdb and grafana to allow you to import data from your proxmox server to get pretty graphs in grafana

##Commands

#install grafana
docker run -d --name=grafana --restart=always -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana

#install influxdb
docker run -d --name="influxdb" --restart on-failure -p 8086:8086 -p 8083:8083 -p 8089:8089/udp -p -v influxdb_data:/var/lib/influxdb -e INFLUXDB_ADMIN_ENABLED=true influxdb -config /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf

##Enter container CLI
sudo docker exec -it influxdb /bin/bash

/etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf
[[udp]]
 enabled = true
 bind-address = "0.0.0.0:8089"
 database = "pve2"
 batch-size = 5000
 batch-timeout = "1s"

##Check if port it opened (run outside of container)
sudo netstat -l -p | grep 8089

##proxmox /etc/pve/status.conf
influxdb:
  server x.x.x.x
  port  8089

##Check if proxmox is sending udp data
tcpdump udp -i vmbr0 -vv port 8089

Let me know if i can improve or if you have any questions

Thanks
