Mining dashboards

Grafana dashboards for cryptocurrency miners.

Requirements

Dashboards rely on the following softwares:

• Telegraf to gather metrics (input) and write to a datastore (output)
• InfluxDB to store metrics on the long-term
• Grafana to visualize metrics

This stack is also known as the TIG stack.

Quickstart

Create infrastructure

Testing purpose only.

This guide uses Docker. Ensure you have docker, docker-compose and openssl binaries installed.

Write your miner address, grafana and influxdb credentials:

cp -p docker/environment.example docker/environment
vi docker/environment

Generate a self-signed certificate:

openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout docker/ssl/my.key -out docker/ssl/my.crt -days 365

Press enter to every question.

Then start containers:

docker-compose up -d

See logs with:

docker-compose logs -f

Configure Telegraf

Telegraf inputs configurations are stored in telegraf directory. You can test them using the following command:

docker run --rm -e "MINER_ADDRESS=${MINER_ADDRESS}" \
    -v "${PWD}/docker/telegraf.conf:/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf:ro" -v "${PWD}/telegraf:/etc/telegraf/telegraf.d:ro" \
    telegraf:1.15.4 telegraf -test -config /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf -config-directory /etc/telegraf/telegraf.d

Example:

Once you are confident with your configuration, reload the container:

docker-compose restart telegraf

Configure Grafana

Login

Go to Grafana URL. Login with credentials set in the "Create infrastructure" section.

Add a datasource

Go to Configuration, Data Sources:

Select on Add data source:

Search for InfluxDB:

Then add read-only credentials to access the InfluxDB data store:

• Name: InfluxDB
• URL: https://influxdb:8086
• Basic auth: enabled
• Skip TLS Verify: enabled
• User: defined by INFLUXDB_READ_USER
• Password: defined by INFLUXDB_READ_USER_PASSWORD
• Min time interval: 60s (Telegraf interval)

Click on Save & Test:

Import dashboard

Click on Import:

Then upload JSON file from this repository:

Select InfluxDB data source and click on Import:

Your dashboard should be imported!

Repeat the operation for other dashboards if needed.

Remove infrastructure

Use docker-compose to remove containers and their volumes:

docker-compose down -v
