Telegraf for ARM systems? (e.g. Netgate SG-3100).
-
Are there any other sources to get a Telegraf package running on SG-3100?
I'd really like to use it for Grafana. -
@renegade Late reply, but if you're able to build the telegraf package yourself (see my video) you can manually add it to pfsense directly / add to /etc/rc.conf to have it start at boot.

Hello pfsense,
Many of us have been running an unsupported telegraf solution for months.
Will you please provide the community with an update on a supported telegraf solution for the SG-3100?Thank you

Bump. New branch office setup so they get some hand-me-down 3100's. I'd like to deploy these 100% which means I need telegraf. I can compile it myself, but our policy is not to put OOB packages on core network devices, so... What's happening with this package for ARM?
As an aside, you may wonder why are we still deploying 3100's... delivery backlogs on anything with a processor in it is why! We have to use what we have on hand until everything is back to normal.

I believe the required technical hurdles to allow this to build have been cleared. We just need the code to become available in FreeBSD for our builders. Plus ironing out anything else that reveals.
This should happen relatively soon.

ly had the time. Guess we wait another day.. At least the build system i
Just updated to 21.05.2 and? .... Nothing again
Wondering what is the issue now -
@szymon
Don't know what's going on, might be related to your SG-3100 which is End-of-sale.This is from a Netgate SG-2100 / Version 21.05.2-RELEASE (arm64) / CPU Type ARM Cortex-A53 r0p4

@jahonix The sg-2100 has it but not the 3100? wow, that's monkaclap

welp, it's been... months now? any progress?

Sorry, there's been zero development time for anything else in the run up to 22.01/2.6. Let me see what the current situation is.

I don't want to keep beating a dead horse, but any update on this? I'm shocked that this thread is almost 3 years old and still no official support from Netgate, please advise
-
Last I saw all the components to allow the package build were in place but the build still failed with some obscure error. As I said there has been basically zero development time available to look at this sort of issue.
I'll try to bump it up the queue.Steve

Any luck with it?

Also still waiting for a telegram plugin for my sg-3100. :)
-
I guess that official support has totally given up trying.
Does anyone know about some other workstream of someone else trying to have telegraf working on ARM devices?
-
The poor SG-3100 has two strikes against it now in its old age that make package development a bit of a pain. First, it is an ARM and not Intel CPU chip. That means a special development environment is required to create and build the packages. Second, it is a 32-bit platform and almost everything these days is geared for 64-bit hardware.
So, I would not get my hopes up for any new package releases for the SG-3100.
-
Lot of changes in 23.01 though. The fixes we needed might be there, I'm not sure what testing has been done against a FreeBSD 14 build. Let me see....

@stephenw10 so what do you see? ;-) any hope here? thanks
-
Go still fails to build in 32bit arm unfortunately.
-
@stephenw10 sad. I just started to like the possibilities of Grafana dashboards etc / Unfortunately 2 of my customers run an SG-3100 ... exactly these 2 would be interested in the Grafana stuff. I wonder and research if there is anything else to use. As far as I read somewhere telegraf isn't the only way to collect data. But the question is if more modern "collectors" run on that 32bit-hardware (or in 32bit FreeBSD 14 ... forgive me if I mix up things).
