Green Monitoring Stack
An open-source stack that monitors the network, data center (compute / storage) infrastructure, third-party devices and external sources to understand the energy consumption and its relation to traffic and bandwidth, the cost and the carbon footprint at various levels of granularity.

Green Monitoring Stack
Table of contents
About the project
A monitoring stack with samples for collection and data exploration for sustainability purposes.
The data is collected from Network, DC (compute / storage) infrastructure, third-party devices and external sources to be able to understand the energy consumption and its relation to traffic and bandwidth, the cost and the carbon footprint of the environment at various levels of granularity.
KPIs
| Element | KPI |
|---|---|
| network device | power power supply load power supply efficiency traffic bandwidth utilization power consumption ratio (PCR) - reference CO2-eq emissions (+ historical) cost |
| server | power utilization temperature CO2-eq emissions cost |
| pdu | power |
| rack | power TBD: temperature |
Technology stack
Architecture

Captures data from:
- IOS-XR routers
- NX-OS switches
- Meraki switches
- UCS servers
- ACI APIC
- Raritan PDUs
- Eaton PDUs
Stores data in:
- InfluxDB v2
Exposes data in:
- Grafana
Data Flow:
IOS-XR
NX-OS
Meraki
ACI APIC -> Telegraf -> InfluxDB -> Grafana
UCS: REDFISH/CIMC/UCSM
Raritan PDUs
Eaton PDUs
Getting started
Prerequisites
Configuration
Installation
Usage
Access
Access the two following WebUIs by replacing the HOST_IP placeholder with the reachable IP address of the host that runs the stack:
- Grafana - hosts custom visualizations.
- Influx (credentials based on .env) - for exploration of raw data.
