Exporter isn't showing any data

[kbreit]

I setup the exporter as a Docker container and Prometheus is showing the target as up. However, when I click the target metrics page, I see 0's for everything.

pihole_status{hostname="192.168.15.15"} 0

Pihole is indeed up. I've used both the API key and the password in the exporter and the result is the same.

Hi @kbreit,

I think I can close this now since you've added the hostname on Grafana dashboard? This is not really related to the Prometheus exporter ;)

[kbreit]

When I look at the metrics page for the exporter, almost all the values are 0. I can’t tell if it’s communicating with pihole or not.

Have you tried with the dashboard on this repository that allows you to select the node?

See: https://github.com/eko/pihole-exporter/blob/master/grafana/dashboard.json

same issue here. Appears there are no Prometheus queries in the dashboard that was downloaded from this repository

[kbreit]

That's what I'm seeing. When I go to the /metrics page, all the metrics are 0. I used the Grafana explorer, and Prometheus, to test this and getting the same result.

I believe the issue is that the datasource for influxdb is called 'pihole' too.

When I removed the influxdb datasource, the dashboard started displaying data.

Also, set your Prometheus datasource as the default.

Do you have precized the correct IP address of you PI-Hoke instance when running the exporter? (see Readme file)

[kbreit]

The correct IP address is in my configuration. I did run a docker logs pihole-exporter and did see a ton of these errors. Are they consequential?

@kbreit,

Are you able to look at the API stats on the PI-Hole API URL:

http://<IP of your PI-Hole>/admin/api.php?summaryRaw&overTimeData&topItems&recentItems&getQueryTypes&getForwardDestinations&getQuerySources&jsonForceObject

In case you have a password on your instance, please ensure that you provide the right password on pihole_password config option (see: https://github.com/eko/pihole-exporter#available-cli-options).

main is this
Annotation Query Failed
Datasource named ${DS_PROMETHEUS1} was not found

[eko]

Closing this issue as it's too old and I cannot find any trace of DS_PROMETHEUS1 variable anywhere in Grafana dashboard or in this repository.

I hope this is fixed for you now. Thank you
