Nice video. Wondering if you might be able to help me. I am trying to get a grafana dashboard going for my pfsense 2.6.0 like you have. I have the telegraf package installed installed in pfsense, added the text to Additional configuration for Telegraf .I have installed influxdb 1.8 installed in a LXC running on proxmox. I created an admin user and a database for pfsense. Created a datasource and tested. I checked again the data source and when I test it says - datasource is working. 10 measurements found. When I explore, I can populate the drop down menus, but there is no data. Have not found any help so far in searching. Thanks.

Thanks for this vid!! We've come up with a cost-effective tool to streamline the report creation process in Grafana. We'd be delighted if you could test it out and share your thoughts! It's called Skedler 😊

Been using Splunk at home for years but want to start looking at Grafana. Thank you for this video. I know I"m late to the party.
