Whenever a new monitoring project gets underway, a consultant discusses with the customer about almost any related topic: what needs to be monitored, how to monitor it, when to implement it, how to represent performance data, etc. Based on customer needs and desires, any sort of implementation strategy can be planned, but almost all of…
Read MoreIn my previous blog post, I introduced our scenario: in a private cloud context, we want to deploy a dashboard for multiple clients created using Grafana, InfluxDB and Telegraf for SQL performance monitoring. We saw how to write a Grafana dashboard programmatically using Jsonnet and upload it to Grafana using the Grafana API. In this…
Read MoreSay we want to monitor the disk latency of SQL Servers or other Windows Performance Counters in a private cloud context, and plot the results for users of our performance management platform who likely work in different companies. InfluxDB, Telegraf and Grafana are the right tools to achieve this, and with the power of Flux,…
Read MoreWe fixed an analytics bug where multiple organization and team were not syncing properly in grafana when users were logging in simultaneously. For NetEye 4.18 we updated the following packages: icingaweb2-module-analytics, icingaweb2-module-analytics-autosetup to version 1.39.4-1
Read MoreA frequent request I get is how to view the availability of hosts and/or services within a Grafana dashboard. Here I demonstrate how to do this for host availability. To implement this, we first create a new table in our MariaDB on NetEye. I’ll call this table host_daily_sla and put it in the pre-existing reporting…
Read MoreI’ve been working with Grafana since 2017, when I started as a Frontend Developer here at Wuerth Phoenix.I typically take care of the customization of the Grafana User Interface, with the goal of reflecting the NetEye look and feel inside Grafana, aka the ITOA module. I’ve already written about a simple way to customize the…
Read MoreHi everyone, in this article I want to tell you about the NagVis module and how we’re going to customize a template so that it can allow us to modify the information displayed during mouse-over (hover). Basically, what we’ll try to achieve will be to preview the performance graphs written on Influx via an additional…

Read MoreWithin Internet provider companies, very often we are asked to calculate the amount of Internet bandwidth in order to bill any excess use of bandwidth to each customer. We decided to make this calculation completely customizable using NetEye together with the built-in tools Icinga2, InfluxDB and Grafana. Phase 1 Using an SNMP check, we measure…
Read MoreScenario Cisco WLC is widely used by many Enterprise Companies to manage their wireless networks due to its efficiency and advanced features. Its management web console has a wealth of configuration parameters, but it doesn’t offer a clear overview on what’s happening across the wireless network. Fortunately, a lot of real time information is available…
Read MoreUntil now, authentication of NetEye users on Grafana was achieved by means of session cookies, which were provided by the Grafana server when authenticating in Icinga Web 2. However, with the upgrade of Grafana from version 5.2 to version 6.2, we can no longer employ this authentication procedure because Grafana has discontinued the use of…
Read MoreDue to the very positive customer feedback on our extended MSSQL performance monitoring article, I would like to briefly highlight this functionality. We have been implementing systems for MSSQL performance monitoring for a long time, offered either as a managed IT service, or on-premise depending on the requirements. Previously, we recorded and evaluated counters such…
Read MoreScenario A lot of people who have a NetEye monitoring system will set up a Wall Dashboard to display the status of their most important services and vital performance data. If these Dashboards are built using Grafana (in the ITOA menu in NetEye 4), you will encounter the problem that you will need to bypass…
Read MoreIn one of my previous posts I described how to create a customized NetEye 3 Tactical Monitoring Overview dashboard with Grafana and Telegraf. Here I’d like to show you how you can create a similar dashboard (much faster) for NetEye 4. The NetEye 4 Tactical Overview quickly provides basic information on the status of hosts, services…
Read MoreGrafana has become one of the most used modules of NetEye. As many of you know, it’s very easy to export and import individual Grafana dashboards using the existing export functionality via JSON. [1] Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy way to export all dashboards and data sources at once and then implement a…
