Grafana network traffic to aws public iface not available

When viewing the current grafana dashboard we created that works on digital ocean, on aws we do not get network traffic.

The graph uses either eth0 or wlan0 interfaces (for cloud and raspberry pis). Digital Ocean exposes the machines public ip address to the machine using the eth0 interface. However aws does not provide the public ip/network interface.

I'm sure prometheus exposes the correct iface/metric somewhere in the node_exporter service that's running, we'll just have to update the graph to also fetch it, or conditionally fetch either metric.


I actually think this will require a little more work then hoped for. The idea might be having to use a more specific exporter for prometheus to import into grafana.

AWS Cloudwatch exporter link
Slightly related ECS exporter link
