Did find it in the JSON: "templating": { "list": [ { "allValue": null, "current": { "selected": false, "text": "Tower", "value": "Tower" }, Do I just remove the text and leave empty quotes?

Thanks. I'll try a reboot when people are done streaming from the server. You have to stop the array to change the unraid server name which stops all Dockers so they did restart after the host name change. I manually restarted them again for good measure with no luck.

I did search the telelgraf config file and nothing came up. I'll try the JSON export trick. Am I correct is assuming that as long as nothing is epcifying that name that Telegraf should dynamically detect the correct name?

When I type hostname in the unraid console it returns "Anton" which is the new name. If I type hostname in the Grafana-Unraid-Stack container console, it returns Tower. In Grafana under the host dropdown it only shows Tower.

That's where I was looking per GilbN's post. Here is mine: ## Override default hostname, if empty use os.Hostname() hostname = "" So where does os.Hostname() derive the host name?

Okay. But nowhere in there is it currently set to Tower so it seems like it's actually polling something to retrieve the name (maybe I'm wrong though). I assumed the reason for having the Host variable was that it would dynamically list all available hosts. If you just manually specify them then no need for a variable, right?

Does anybody know how/where InfluxDB gets the host name? I chnged my unraid server name from the default "Tower" and the new name shows in unraid and when I browse Windows network, but in Grafana it still shows as Tower. Just wondering how to get it to change to the new name. I had assumed it would do so automatically.

I am really struggling with the cache writes panel. It is just not showing accurate data. For example, the hourly data just shows a constantly increasing number that is way too high. The last 4 hours it is showing 302GB, 304GB, 306Gb and 307GB respectively. I grabbed these numbers from going to Inspect>Data so I assume this is what Telegraf is logging and not just a formatting isse with the way the panel is set up in Grafana. But I have tried various setting and nothing comes close to showing the data I expect. Yet my manual hourly script in unraid is reporting 1.76GB, 2.39GB, 1.74GB and 1.91GB for the last 4 hours. Much more realistic numbers and they vary and are not seemingly cumulative like what's being reported in Grafana. Anybody have any ideas ho to get this to report correctly?

If you don't mind, please share what you find. I've searched google and I'm really not finding how to do this. Everything I find about Grafana with multiple hosts seem to be with people using Prometheus. I haven't looked into what that is or how to utilize it. I would rather not add something else to the mix if I don't have to.

I'm playing around with setting up a 2nd unraid server. What do I have to do to allow it to be selectable/viewable from the dash I have on my main server?

I'm new to Grafana myself so I may be wrong, but I think if you go in to edit the panel, you can click on the Query Inspector button. In the pane that slides out you can click on the JSON tab. I think if you copy an paste that code into here, we can copy and paste into our dashboard.

My bad. I was using sensors. I switched to ipmi_sensors and got it working. I should've tinkered more before posting.

Can anyone give any advice on how to show historical fan RPMs. I have graphs that show the last 12 hours of CPU temp and usage and I would like to add one to show the CPU fan speed over the same time. It sounds like it is adjusting speed all the time and if I can see whatit's doing based off CPU temp then maybe I could adjust settings in BIOS to minimize the fluctuations. Plus, I have a thing for historical data. Lol.

I am trying to implement this into my dashboard but I'm not having much luck getting it to look like that. Care to show your settings for this panel?

Anyone have any feedback on my last two questions? I'm trying to sort out if I have an issue with my MB.

Does the motherboard model and info for this board appear for you guys? Mine just says " ASRockRack Version - s/n:". I swear it used to show the model but I am on my 3rd board (no fault of Asrock) so maybe it was one or both of the others that showed and this one isn;t reading. Wondering if the beta BIOS broke that or if maybe there's an issue with my board.

Just curious, what kind of temps are you seeing and what containers and VMs are you running? I'm having a hell of a time trying to control the temp on mine.

I researched this very recently as I just built a system with this board. From what I read Tcdie is the actual CPU temp. Tctl is the CPU temp with a 27C offset. In IPMI it will show the CPU temp reading the same as Tctl.

I finally got this working. Nice tip! I only use Emby as a backend so I don't have a lot of experience with how slow it usually loads covers remotely but, from what I can tell, it does seem faster. Hopefully my friends and family will notice and benefit from the improvement. Is this the sort of thing where the extra speed of an NVME over SSD will improve things further or not really worth it?

Not your fault. Stuff happens. I wish Emby's restore didn't screw up remote connections. Thanks for helping!

Thanks! I'll try it again later this weekend. Now I have to sort out users not being able to connect to Emby after the restore.

root@Tower:~# sysctl -a | grep dirty vm.dirty_background_bytes = 0 vm.dirty_background_ratio = 10 vm.dirty_bytes = 0 vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 3000 vm.dirty_ratio = 20 vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 500 vm.dirtytime_expire_seconds = 43200 I think it's the official Emby docker but I don't remember for certain and I rename my containers so I can't tell from that. Repo is emby/embyserver:latest

I assumed it wouldn't gather any files. I just meant prevent them from being written anywhere but cache. But like I said, it isn;t showing anything anywhere over than the cache drive.

I just did that and it's only showing on cache. Thanks for that tip. I never knew you could see that info there. I just assumed it refreshed the total.

So setting it to only will prevent that, right?
