What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
OSS v9.3.6 -
What are you trying to achieve?
Try to make a panel where which can show total monthly, daily or weekly bandwidth by a server. -
How are you trying to achieve it?
Exactly not sure where to start, I am not sure if I can active this using default “node exporter” alone or I can use “exec” plugin for telegraf to read vnstat data
[[inputs.exec]]
commands = [
"/usr/bin/vnstat -i eth0 -tr --short --json",
"/usr/bin/vnstat -i tun0 -tr --short --json"
]
timeout = "10s"
name_suffix = "_vnstat"
data_format = "json"
json_name_key="vnstat"
tag_keys= ["interface"]
Or can use .net plugin for telegraf:
[[inputs.net]]
## By default, telegraf gathers stats from any up interface (excluding loopback)
## Setting interfaces will tell it to gather these explicit interfaces,
## regardless of status. When specifying an interface, glob-style
## patterns are also supported.
##
interfaces = ["eth0", "enp0s[0-1]", "lo"]
##
In the end of the day, need a dashboard where I can see daily and monthly bandwidth usage by a server.

Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
Been trying to understand promQL, grafana explorer but looks like it need clear understanding to achieve this.
Do I really need to be wizard of promQL to achieve this or it is something I can easily do ?
