# Monitor Raspberry Pi

Use the [Raspberry Pi Monitoring template](https://github.com/influxdata/community-templates/tree/master/raspberry-pi) to monitor your Raspberry Pi 4 or 400 Linux system.

The Raspberry Pi template includes the following:

-   one [bucket](/influxdb/cloud/reference/glossary/#bucket): `rasp-pi` (7d retention)
-   labels: `raspberry-pi` + Telegraf plugin labels
    -   [Diskio input plugin](/telegraf/v1/plugins//#diskio)
    -   [Mem input plugin](/telegraf/v1/plugins//#mem)
    -   [Net input plugin](/telegraf/v1/plugins//#net)
    -   [Processes input plugin](/telegraf/v1/plugins//#processes)
    -   [Swap input plugin](/telegraf/v1/plugins//#swap)
    -   [System input plugin](/telegraf/v1/plugins//#system)
-   one [Telegraf configuration](/influxdb/cloud/tools/telegraf-configs/)
-   one [dashboard](/influxdb/cloud/reference/glossary/#dashboard): Raspberry Pi System
-   two variables: `bucket` and `linux_host`

## Apply the template

1. Use the [`influx` CLI](/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/) to run the following command:
    
    ```sh
    influx apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/community-templates/master/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-system.yml
    ```
    
    For more information, see [influx apply](/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/apply/).
    
2. [Install Telegraf](/telegraf/v1/introduction/installation/) on your Raspberry Pi and ensure your Raspberry Pi has network access to the [InfluxDB Cloud API](/influxdb/cloud/reference/api/).
    
3. Add the following environment variables to your Telegraf environment:
    
    -   `INFLUX_HOST`:
        
        Your [InfluxDB Cloud region URL](/influxdb/cloud/reference/regions/)
        
    -   `INFLUX_TOKEN`: Your [InfluxDB Cloud API token](/influxdb/cloud/admin/tokens/)
        
    -   `INFLUX_ORG`: Your InfluxDB Cloud organization name.
        
    
    ```sh
    export INFLUX_HOST=http://localhost:8086
    export INFLUX_TOKEN=mY5uP3rS3cr3T70keN
    export INFLUX_ORG=example-org
    ```
    
4. [Start Telegraf](/influxdb/cloud/write-data/no-code/use-telegraf/auto-config/#start-telegraf).
    

## View the incoming data

1. In the InfluxDB user interface (UI), select **Boards** (**Dashboards**).
    
    Dashboards
    
2. Click the Raspberry Pi System link to open your dashboard, then select `rasp-pi` as your bucket and select your linux\_host.
