Grafana network monitoring made simple: Tutorial

Welcome to my channel! In this video, I will walk you through the process of setting up Grafana and Prometheus to monitor network devices using SNMP-Exporter.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:

Introduction to Grafana and Prometheus: Understand the basics of these powerful monitoring tools and how they work together to collect and visualize data.

SNMP-Exporter Configuration: Learn how to configure the SNMP-Exporter to gather metrics from network devices using the SNMP protocol.

Using a Grafana Dashboard Template: Discover how easy it is to set up a monitoring dashboard using a pre-made template from the Grafana website. This demonstration shows that you don’t need to know how to program to effectively use Prometheus and Grafana.

Whether you are a beginner looking to get started with network monitoring or an experienced user seeking to enhance your monitoring setup, this video has something for everyone.

How to install Node-Exporter

wget

tar xvfz node_exporter-*.*-amd64.tar.gz
cd node_exporter-*.*-amd64
./node_exporter

sudo mv node_exporter-1.8.1.linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/

Create a file
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/node.exporter.service

Paste the following:
[Unit]
Description=Node Exporter
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=node_exporter
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node_exporter
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target[Unit]
Description=Node Exporter
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

Save the file

Then add node-exporter as a service by doing the following:

sudo useradd -rs /bin/false node_exporter
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable node_exporter
sudo systemctl start node_exporter
sudo systemctl status node_exporter
