Outrageous internet bandwidth

Grafana Dashboards
1

Hi There

I have Grafana running on my Ubuntu 22 based VPS and everything works as they should BUT

The internet bandwidth registered by resmon tool everytime I access the page (http://vps_ip:3000) is terrific, see image below

data_usage

The figure literally goes upto 2,000,000B/s and stays there as long as the web is open

my data sources are:

data_sources
data_sources503×229 4.73 KB

and I only have one dashboard with 5 panels

1 Business Input + 2 Gauges + 2 Times Graphs

Any help to reduce B/s when accessing the page is highly welcome

Cheers

you can try gzip compression?

In grafana.ini’s [server] section, replace ;enable_gzip = false to enable_gzip = true

Hello, Thanks for your fast reply

I tried the trick you suggested and It kind of worked, I could see the B/s barely gets above 1MB/s but that’s still unbearable

I kind of found the culprit here, The MQTT Plugin ?

Removed it and my B/s is down to 100B/s

I liked the MQTT Plugin as It updates the Time Series Graph as new data comes in with an auto-refresh button turned off

Thanks for your input pal
