Start of the Dahsboard page. I will try to explain the best I can. I will also post the links to the original developers who with the help of their scripts made this Dashboard possible.

This installation it's based on my Ubuntu Server 16.04. It may or not work on all distros!

Things you need before you start:

I will not explian how to install these aplications, there are numerous guides on the Internet that you can look at!

Program	Links	Command
Grafana	https://grafana.com	apt-get install grafana
InfluxDB	https://www.influxdata.com	apt-get install influxdb
Tautulli	https://tautulli.com	Howto
Plex	https://plex.tv	Download
Ombi	https://ombi.io/	Howto

Setup the cloned Git repos!

1. Plex-Data-Collector-For-InfluxDB

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• InfluxDB server

Run pip install -r requirements.txt

Python Packages

• influxdb
• plexapi
• requests

open the folder Plex-Data-Collector-For-InfluxDB, edit the config.ini file with the following details:

Change these settings!

• Username = YOUR PLEX USERNAME
• Password = YOUR PLEX PASSWORD
• Servers = YOUR PLEX IP ADDRESS

[GENERAL]
# Seconds between each polling run
Delay = 10
ReportCombined = True

[INFLUXDB]
Address = localhost
Port = 8086

Change permission of the file plexcollector.py

chmod +x plexcollector.py

• Create a service

cd /etc/systemd/system

nano plexdata.service

Paste the following (change the path where you cloned the repo accordingly)

[Unit]
Description=PlexData Service
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=idle
WorkingDirectory=/PATH/TO/YOUR/Plex-Data-Collector-For-InfluxDB/
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /PATH/TO/YOUR/Plex-Data-Collector-For-InfluxDB/plexcollector.py
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=15s
TimeoutSec=15s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

• Enable the Service

sudo systemctl enable plexdata.service

• Start the Service

sudo service plexdata start

2. grafana-scripts

open the folder grafana-scripts, edit the configuration.py file with the following details:

########################### INFLUXDB CONFIG ###########################
influxdb_url = 'localhost'
influxdb_port = 8086
influxdb_username = ''
influxdb_password = ''

############################ OMBI CONFIG ##############################

• Change permissions of the files configuration.py ombi.py tautulli.py

chmod +x configuration.py ombi.py tautulli.py

• Create a cronjob

crontab -e

* * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /PATH/TO/YOUR/grafana-scripts/ombi.py --total
* * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /PATH/TO/YOUR/grafana-scripts/tautulli.py

3. tautulli-influxdb-export

Change permission of the file plexpy_influxdb_export.py

Description=PlexPy2InfluxDB Service
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=idle
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /PATH/TO/YOUR/tautulli-influxdb-export/plexpy_influxdb_export.py --plexpyhost YOU_TAUTULLI_HOST --plexpyapikey YOUR_TAUTTULI_API_KEY
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=15s

sudo systemctl enable plexpy_influxdb_export.service

• Start the Service

sudo service plexpy_influxdb_export start

Create InfluxDB datasources

* Name:       Plex_Data
* Type:       influxDB
* URL:        http://localhost:8086
* Access:     Server (Default)
* Database:   plex_data

* Name:       Plex Users
* Type:       influxDB
* URL:        http://localhost:8086
* Access:     Server (Default)
* Database:   plexpy

* Name:       Tautulli
* Type:       influxDB
* URL:        http://localhost:8086
* Access:     Server (Default)
* Database:   newplex

System Stats

System stats that you see on the Dashboard are based on Telegraf! Create a datasource as well if you want to see some system details. Edit the file /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf to monitor the services you want!

* Name:       plex
* Type:       influxDB
* URL:        http://localhost:8086
* Access:     Server (Default)
* Database:   telegraf

Dashboard

Download the dashboard from this repo, import it to your Grafana and adapt the datasources if needed:
