Hi,
i have installed grafana using all-in-one monitoring stack..but iam not able to recall the login password set by me. How can i reset the grafana login creds?

Due to the slow build times (over an hour) on docker hub we should move the build task to GitHub actions.

When I attempt to use the Prometheus data source in Grafana I'm getting 'No Data' on all the graphs. If I attempt to query Prometheus with the same queries specified in the Grafana graphs I get no results back. Is there any insight you can offer to this?

Example:
BBB-API Graph Query: bbb_api_up{instance="$instance"}
Searching the same query in Prometheus does not return a result even though Prometheus has Netdata setup as a target

@sbellm .. I'm a novice in coding.
Can you be kind enough to spell in easy steps on how to install BBB exporter(and the accompaniments) and how much cpu does it eat?
It seems we need to to install Grafana, Prometheus and Netdata .. but in what sequence and in which directories etc?

Thanks for the help.

Hi! I'm trying to get the monitoring working with this excellent project. But I can't get it to display me the network/cpu/memory, etc. All I see in my grafana dashboard is the bbb-exporter with participants and the metrics response times/api. Checking the output of the Prometheus metrics like suggested in https://bigbluebutton-exporter.greenstatic.dev/debugging/. I can see the values and that the node_exporter is working and scraping correctly. My BBB-Instance is set up by the install-script on a root-server, so nothing is changed there. So guessing from the debugging section the problem lies between grafana and prometheus. since all targets are up. But i don't understand what is wrong there. The data source is set to Prometheus with http://localhost:9090 and delivers data (if you ask grafana) but it is only the bbb-exporter-data. Did I miss anything crucial during the setup?

Dear all, I have a problem in one server which related to the /metrics/ route.
How can I found that why it takes a long time to generate?

I have several BBB hosts on v2.2.19 running bbb-exporter & node_exporter which I have no issues, but when running on Ubuntu 18.04 and BBB2.3A1 the bbb-export does not bind to port 9688 so no connection to Prometheus.

First, thanks for the awesome bbb-exporter 😍

After setting it up a few minutes ago, I was a bit confused about missing cpu/bandwidth-metrics. The instance dropdown in grafana is build by using label_values(bbb_api_up, instance) - in my case that returned bbbhost.example:443.
The instance label from my netdata appeared as bbbhost.example:19999. In this case, the $instance variable in grafana contained bbbhost.example:443 and such the corresponding netdata metrics were not found.

Currently I've solved it by adding the following relabel config to my scrape_configs in prometheus.yml:

relabel_configs:
- source_labels: ['__address__']
  separator:     ':'
  regex:         '(.*):.*'
  target_label:  'instance'
  replacement:   '$1'

Just FYI - if you like, just close the issue - or add a note about the requirement of equal instance labels for netdata and the exporter for the dashboards :)

I simply monitor CPU usage in percentage format, but I don't know how to monitor CPU in gigahertz format. any ideas?

Video participant panel has a wrong label in legend ("Voice participant").

Hello,

I have read https://bigbluebutton-exporter.greenstatic.dev/getting-started/
and I am not sure
It seems that if it is allowed to use multiple bbbs at the same time
My question is
How can I do this with the all-in-one docker?
How can i configure multiples urls and secrets at the several time?

Regards,

Carlos

Hi @greenstatic
Can I only use the netdata dashboard display for this exporter?

When isntalling the exporter in order to get the dashboard for Grafana, I wondered whether installing that netdata thing is really necessary. It is a really fat applicatio, adds another (untrusted) package source to the system (or another potentially insecure docker container), and by default, it even has usage tracking and phone-home features enabled, which might violate data protection desires or even laws if going unnoticed.

I verified that the dashboard works perfectly when using the standard Prometheus node exporter, which comes bundled with Ubuntu (and Debian and presumably anyhting else). Installign the netdata software is thus unnecessary and, in my opinion, should be dropped from the documentation and replaced with installing the node exporter instead.

while the number of recordings seems to be correct, and bbb is up and running, the exporter complains:
--> Non 2xx HTTP status code response

<path>/bigbluebutton/getMeetings</path></Map>

Hi
I have a problem with "all in one monitoring" that shows no data in charts.
It works randomly and after reboot sometimes this error happening:

Unprocessed video count (the videos on queue which are waiting to be processed) would be fine..

Dear all, I want to check service status (mongod,bbb-html5,...) in grafana. How can we pass services status with bbb-exporter? @greenstatic @faust64 @pkoro

is there a possibility to display total disk space and used space ?

After installation: I go to https://bbb.xxx.de/monitoring/ I'm forwarded to https://bbb.xxx.de/login which is a 404 nginx-site.

Possibly I made one step (Configure Nginx) wrong:
Where I have to add the given content?

Hi,
I have a scalelite and 3bbb servers in the pool. I want to setup monitoring tool on the scalelite server to monitor all BBB's.
i have installed bbb-exporter on each bbb instance.
And installed bbb-monitoring tool on scalelite server through : https://bigbluebutton-exporter.greenstatic.dev/installation/all_in_one_monitoring_stack/
But iam unable to fetch the details under grafana dashboard.
looking for help.

As the node_exporter seems to support statistics of the network interface and especially when there are a lot of video participants it woulld be a nice feature to see the bandwidth usage.

I am qiute new to bbb-exporter / node exporter prometheus etc. but it seems that bbb-exporter uses node exporters metricx and adds additional bbb info to it, so it should#t not be too hard to implement.

Hi,

We are finding that when load ramps up on our server(dual Xeons, 48GB RAM), ie around 100 students, BBB-exporter stop working, then at lunchtimes or end of day when people leave, we get reporting again. We can access Grafana, just get the No Data in all boxes.

It does not seem to affect any of the working of BBB itself. We are not taxing our server at all, we regularly have 250 students over multiple rooms. We purposefully overspecced the bare metal for this project just in case.

We since updated to 0.5.2 from an 0.4 version to try and sort this, now the dashboard randomly goes between No Data and reporting, not just under load.

Do you any insight into this?

Thanks
James

When i add the grafana dashboard I have no data...
My target are OK on prometheus because i see it on prometheus dashboard...
But when i edit one graph on grafana, i see the defaut database , but not prometheus... :
You can see here : https://pasteboard.co/J0K8t7y.png

could you understand why i dont have a source 'prometheus'...

My grafana have some other databases (influxdb)

Thanks for your work :-)

Hi,
In this guide,

https://bigbluebutton-exporter.greenstatic.dev/installation/bigbluebutton_exporter/#docker-installation-recommended

In the eighth step says: "Add the exporter to your Prometheus configuration."
but question is where is it(prometheus.yaml) ???

One of my servers declare bbb_recordings_published is 0. But bbb-record shows published records and /var/bigbluebutton/published/presentation has 996 folders.

If you reqire any additional data, please let me know...

Would like to add a custom CA for a self-signed SSL certificate installed on BBB instance.

The log from bbb-exporter says:
(Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1076)')))

I did the All-In-One Monitoring Stack but I can't really find where is the dockerfile for the bbb-exporter service to add something like (or how is pulled from git if just the .yaml is provided):

-- Dockerfile
FROM some-base-image:0.1
ADD my_certificate.crt:/container/cert/path
RUN update-ca-certificates

many thanks

First of all: thank you for your great work on this exporter. Your release enormously helped us to roll out a bigger Scalelite > BBB installation for a university.

However, to better understand the load pattern we need a more detailed look at the room participant distribution on each server. I've created a pull request with some additional changes here #8

Best regards

Hello,
after following the installation guide here: https://bigbluebutton-exporter.greenstatic.dev/installation/all_in_one_monitoring_stack/
got the error below. what am i doing wrong? please help

Hi,
does bigbluebutton-exporter support multiple BBB instances through scalelite?

Because scalelite dont return <meetings/> tag when there are no meeting. If there is one or more meeting it runs correctly.

Hello Gregor,

Thanks for your great job. I'm a Grafana fan (and newbie as well).

As I'm not found of Docker (I rather prefer to understand what I'm running and how it is set up), I decided to install the systemd version, following the howto step by step.

Now I'm stuck unable to start the bigbluebutton service.

When I check the status :

jfvarin@labo:/etc/bigbluebutton-exporter$ sudo systemctl status bigbluebutton-exporter
● bigbluebutton-exporter.service - BigBlueButton Exporter
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bigbluebutton-exporter.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

mai 25 21:09:21 labo systemd[1]: bigbluebutton-exporter.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

So I went a step further by running

jfvarin@labo:/etc/bigbluebutton-exporter$ sudo /usr/bin/python3 /opt/bigbluebutton-exporter/bbb-exporter/server.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/bigbluebutton-exporter/bbb-exporter/server.py", line 6, in

File "/usr/lib/python3.5/os.py", line 725, in getitem
raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'API_BASE_URL'

I triple checked the API_BASE_URL and the API_SECRET which work like a charm with the API Mate but it seems that server.py is not able to get the info.

My conf is quite standard : Ubuntu 16.04 with BBB and Greenlight + SSL + prometheus + python3-pip..,

If someone can give me a clue, I will really appreciate as I want to avoid running docker (sorry for the docker fans).

Thanks in advance for your help, I still have a lot to do to see it fully running.

Best regards from Paris.

How to debug, if a server doesn't show the stats?
Done everything from: /installation/all_in_one_monitoring_stack/
On every other server no issues, but on one server there is no access to the current data.
API works well, queries do show the right values.

In Grafana, Prometheus is added with localhost, but in the dashboard, no localhost is shown.

On site https://bigbluebutton-exporter.greenstatic.dev/ some typos.

• In section install node_exporter and netdata missing steps 4,5
• Also where missing auth params in nginx config or need to remove step 3 about .htpasswd
• On node_exporter nginx config copied from netdata and has commnet #Netdata monitoring

Hi. wen i run sudo docker-compose up -d, i got the error:
ERROR: Version in "./docker-compose.yaml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version. Either specify a version of "2" (or "2.0") and place your service definitions under the serviceskey, or omit theversionkey and place your service definitions at the root of the file to use version 1. For more on the Compose file format versions, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/

Hi Gregor,

I've setup your bbb-exporter solution like your documentation .
And all services are running. But I get No Data in grafana.
Datasource is configured to http://localhost:9090 and your JSON files are imported in grafana .
Any idea?

I've setup netdata parallel there, this works and I get data and graphs.

regards
Rene

Hi,

i have installed bbb-exporter (node_exporter was already installed) lastes Version.
I have followed the systemD introduction.

The statistic from ROOMS Created,deleted BLA seems to work.

But all Participants shown "0" even if i'm in meeting.

We use BBB with multible Domains on one Server. Any Ideas?

Tagets was already set in prometeus
targets: ['<BBB Main IP>:9688', '<bbb1>:9688', '<bbb2>:9688', '<bbb3>:9688']

Kind regards

When installing I am having error running nginx.

When testing with sudo nginx -t it is showing

nginx: [emerg] "location" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/bigbluebutton:85
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

the config that is giving me the error,

# BigBlueButton Exporter (metrics)
location /metrics/ {
    auth_basic "BigBlueButton Exporter";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9688/;
    include proxy_params;

}

The better way to place nginx config for exporter is
/etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/metrics.nginx

it will not be overwritten during update

I installed BBB (on Ubuntu 16.04) but without Greenlight, thus I didn't have docker.
I installed it via
apt-get install docker docker-compose
But when I run
sudo docker-compose up -d
I get

ERROR: Version in "./docker-compose.yaml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version. Either specify a version of "2" (or "2.0") and place your service definitions under the `services` key, or omit the `version` key and place your service definitions at the root of the file to use version 1.
For more on the Compose file format versions, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/

My Docker-Version is:

root@bbb:~/bbb-monitoring# docker --version
Docker version 18.09.7, build 2d0083d

I'm not familiar with docker

Hi, I have installed the bbb exporter and node exporter and I have noticed that the number of rooms and participants by client type doesn't get information. Do you know if I should check something in particular to get this metrics in the dashboard working? Thanks, it's a great project.

I am not sure if this is an error or just my non-existing experience with prometheus/netdata.

I followed the installation procedure and i could see the server when choosing the "all servers" dashboard. However the server instance showed nothing as the "instance" field on top of the dashboard was empty. I could add there my server manually though. Even then I did not get any CPU values, just the bbb values (number of users/video/...).

Then I checked the settings for the Dashboard and found the settings for variables. There the value for refresh was set to never. After changing it to on dashboard load everything worked as expected (and shown in the screenshots).

Maybe I did something wrong as I wonder why no one else seems to have this problem. If not it would probably help to mention this in the installation notes or change the json file (see #13).

Anyway thank you for an awesome tool!

Hi!
i spent nights looking for how to configure grevana to send email alerts, i didn't succeed.
I found some solution, enter the grefana bash
docker-compose exec grafana bash
and change the configuration file:

vi conf / default.ini

but when I want to exit by esc -: w that does not quit
can someone help me?

Hi,

I try to install but got error :

850 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: x.x.x.x, server: demo-bbb.xxxxxx.com, request: "GET /metrics/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:9688/", host: "demo-bbb.xxxxxx.net"

Am I miss sth?

Hi, All:

Great little piece of software, very nice and easy to install at least the all-in-one type of install...

As said we need to add the count of participants by meeting and the list of meetings, by name, I'm pretty sure the first item should be easy, adding labels to the metrics, I don't know already how exactly do it myself, but seems easy maybe..

But how about getting the list of the active meetings as a list in grafana? from my brief ( very brief ) look at the Prometheus python API, I don't found how to do it,

Hallo together,

i'm using the BBB exporter and my BBB Instance runs IPv4 and IPv6.
In the Charts, only the IPv4 Traffic is shown, in netdata i can see different values!

Thanks for patching.

When starting the BBB- Monitoring Docker Image and monitoring the traffic on the Gateway it is found that there are TCP connects, one to GoogleContent then the CDN at Fastway.com and then about 15sec later DNS Outbound traffic to Google's DNS 8.8.8.8 is flooding the outbound interface on the Gateway with timeouts starting at 3min.

Requested Outbound Connection

Outbound Amplification of DNS (exceeds 100 requests)

Adjusting the prometheus.yaml

Default

global:
  scrape_interval: 15s
  evaluation_interval: 15s
  scrape_timeout: 15s

Changed to

global:
  scrape_interval: 120s
  evaluation_interval: 120s
  scrape_timeout: 10s

Bring the Docker image up and the amount of DNS requests have dropped to about 10.

Somewhere in the scraping API is causing this DNS query issue or a possible configuration requirement to allow for a localhost lookup instead of an external lookup? Just my thoughts.

Hi,

first of all I have to tell you that I think your project is very good. I used your project in my company (we are an IT company that supports schools in our country with the technical infrastructure). My colleagues think the dashboards are great. And especially when people think something is good, they naturally have suggestions for improvement.
One of them is: Is it possible that the dashboards also show CPU and RAM usage?
I myself am not familiar with Prometheus and Grafana at all; I always copy your configurations. If there is an update, they are simply imported.

Thanks for sharing your project with us :)
