Hello everyone! I’m using a TIG stack (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana) in Docker to monitor my server and I keep running into the same issues.
When the Telegraf container gets updated (removed and recreated), the Hostname changes. This leads to Grafana to split the data (best case) or show no data at all (worst case) since it was told to show a specific field which is named after the host.
Now, I have tried regexing the column (example: /uptime_format/ in flux) but I’m a noob at both regex and flux so that doesn’t work either.
I think I might need to set the hostname in the telegraf container but I thought I’d ask if anyone else solved this problem before. :)

You don’t do it in flux, you do it in the panel options in Grafana.
On your original question you can set the Telegraf hostname in the config, for docker stuff I just use
omit_hostname = trueOkay! Thanks for explaining! Thats very helpful.
