visualize metrics from your Factorio game in Grafana

What is this?

Grafana is an open-source project for rendering time-series metrics.
by using graftorio2, you can create a dashboard with various charts monitoring aspects of your Factorio factory.
this dashboard is viewed using a web browser outside of the game client. (works great in a 2nd monitor!)

in order to use graftorio2, you need to run the Grafana software and a database called Prometheus locally.
graftorio2 automates this process using docker, or you can set these up by hand.

Installation

  1. download the latest release, and extract it into the location you want to host the local database
  2. install docker
    • if using windows, you will need to be running Windows 10 Pro
  3. if using macOS or Linux, open the extracted docker-compose.yml in a text editor and uncomment the correct path to your Factorio install
    • for Linux update the permissions in the data dir (since the containers need those rights):
    • chown -R 472 config/grafana
    • chown -R 65534 config/prometheus
    • chown -R 472 data/grafana
    • chown -R 65534 data/prometheus
  4. using a terminal, run docker-compose up inside the extracted directory
  5. load localhost:3000 in a browser, you should login once and set a secure password!
    • there is no need to configure anything:
    • Prometheus is already configured as default datasource
  6. launch factorio
  7. install the "graftorio2" mod via the mods menu
  8. load up your game, and see your statistics in the Grafana dashboards

Hosting

whenever you want to publish your dashboard to the public you can do this by placing this upon a server and opening up the ports for your game.
preferable all runs on the same server, but separating the game and the Grafana dahsboard is possible.
in the following example we'll explain on how to set it up all on 1 server.

Part 1: The Website

when ever you are hosting this on a server it's prefered to run this as the docker instance.
we placed an nginx as reverse proxy in front of it to forward the http(s) requests to the Grafana server.

server {
	listen 80;
	listen [::]:80;
	server_name domain.name;
	return 301 https://domain.name$request_uri;
}

server {
	location / {
		proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/;
		proxy_set_header Host $host;
		proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
	}

    ssl on;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;
    listen 443 ssl;
    # Here we used a letsencrypt cert (stripped out the actual files)
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}

Part 2: The Grafana settings

change the environment: variable in docker-compose.yml.
for example the domain name and the root URL you're going to use for the public.
this way dashboards can be made visible to the public.
for more details consult the Grafana docker documentation.

for example:

    environment:
      - GF_SERVER_DOMAIN=domain.name
      - GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL=https://%(domain)s/graftorio
      - GF_SERVER_SERVE_FROM_SUB_PATH=true # the `/graftorio` part of URL
      - GF_USERS_ALLOW_SIGN_UP=false
      - GF_AUTH_BASIC_ENABLED=false
      - GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED=true
      - GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ORG_ROLE=Viewer
      - GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_HIDE_VERSION=true

Part 3: The Prometheus settings

like for Grafana you may want to set some custom propperties for your Prometheus backend. but for Prometheus you need to set them as command: inside the docker-compose.yml. for more details consult the Prometheus docker documentation

for example:

    command:
      - '--storage.tsdb.retention.time=14d'

Part 4: The exporter

the exporter needs to have access to your game.prom file, so change the path in the docker-compose.yml to where script-output/graftorio is found.

Separate servers

whenever you want to run the game on a different server you would have to change a few things.

  1. the exporter needs to run on the same server/computer as your Factorio server/instance.
  2. the Factorio server/instance doesn't need the Prometheus and Grafana dockers. so remove those 2 entries from the docker-compose.yml
  3. the exporter needs to be accesible from the web, so that the Prometheus db can access it to load in the required data. more information for the exporter is found here https://github.com/Prometheus/node_exporter
  4. change over the config/prometheus/prometheus.yml to let the targets point to your exporters ip:port

however when you want to separate this all, keep in mind that most of the default settings in this readme/repo are not correct.
so these have to be changed to your needs.

Finally

open your http://domain.name and see the login for Grafana. keep in mind that this short guide doesn't explain on how to properly secure everything. this is up to you to fix yourself.

Metrics

The list of currently included metrics can be found in Metrics.md.

Dashboards

this repository includes a variety of ready to use dashboards.
those dashboards are from Kariton/graftorio2-dashboards.
the dashboards will be updated within this repostory if new versions are available.

all dashboards support a variety of different filters, panel links as well as data links.
for example: Force, TimeScale, Network, Item / Fluid / Building / etc.

  • Force: default player - some mods provide their own identifyer.
  • TimeScale: default Minute - is used to calculate values per Second / Minute / Hour.
  • Network: default all - depending on context the available networks like electricity / logistic.
  • Item / Fluid / Building etc.: default all - depending on context the available entities.

Debugging

mod

to see if Factorio is generating stats, confirm a game.prom file exists at the configured exporter volume directory. when opened, it should look something like this:

# HELP factorio_item_production_input items produced
# TYPE factorio_item_production_input gauge
factorio_item_production_input{force="player",name="burner-mining-drill"} 3
factorio_item_production_input{force="player",name="iron-chest"} 1

Prometheus

to see if Prometheus is scraping the data, load localhost:9090/targets in a browser and confirm that the status is "UP".
you should see the target from config/Prometheus/Prometheus.yml.

Grafana

to see if the Grafana data source can read correctly, there is already a included graftorio2 dashboard.
this should show a linear growing Factorio Tick panel.
alternatively start a new dashboard and add a graph with the query factorio_item_production_input.
the graph should render the total of every item produced in your game.
