      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.

                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....

                        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).

                            I consider using SNMP instead. Prometheus plus snmp-exporter could deliver to Grafana. There should be enough information that way also. I have an older instance of LibreNMS where I collect pfSense data via SNMP for years already. Same data into Grafana should also make the customer happy. I will check that in the next days.

                              learning more: I see node_exporter for armv7:
                              https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/node_exporter/

                              Does anyone have experience with this? How to get it installed, would it work on the SG3100?
