Network traffic statistics in Influxdb/Grafana
I continued my slow migration of statistics to Influxdb/Grafana and added the network traffic. I've been gathering this for ages in rrdtool, my earlier view was that I've been using rrdtool for network and other statistics since October 2002 so it is a bit of a change. I updated the perl scripts that fetch network traffic statistics over SNMP to also add the data to influxdb. And it was simple to create a dashboard with that data. The overview pages with data for all interfaces for one measured host also link to detail pages per interface which also show the number of errors.
