Telegraf for ARM systems? (e.g. Netgate SG-3100).
-
Any update on whether Telegraf packages are available for Netgate ARM devices (e.g. SG-3100) yet?
-
Telegraf is not available for armv6 (SG-3100) for the same reason. It requires a native build because of the language chosen to write it in. We do not currently have any armv6 build hardware so cannot build the package.

Ah ok - so the build pipeline for Rust/Golang is still not working for the SG-1100/SG-3100 etc, right?
Do you know if this is likely to be fixed in the future?
It would be a real bummer if all the SG-1100 and SG-3100 units out there were no longer able to run anything written in Rust or Golang
=(. -
The SG-1100 is aarch64 and we do have build hardware for that which is why it has Suricata 5.
https://twitter.com/NetgateUSA/status/1179190143225417735I believe that should allow Telegraph there unless there is another obstacle I'm unaware of (which I might be).

Aha got it - but the SG-3100 is ARMv6/7, right, so that is still pending?
Basically, we have around 10 x SG-3100's - and we'd like to get Telegraf (Golang), Suricata (Rust) etc. all working on it.
Do you know if getting working build support for SG-3100 is on the roadmap?
Or if the SG-3100 isn't being supported anymore - is there a replacement device on the roadmap? (Although it'd be a bummer if the SG-3100 is being EOLed, since we bought them only last year).

Telegraf is now available on the SG-1100. Please test it if you can.
We are working on what we can do on armv6.

I just installed the package on my SG-1100 and in the System Log I get
Apr 1 00:30:46 kernel pid 72858 (telegraf), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped)
and when I try and run telegraf from the console I get
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
-
Thanks for the report, we are investigating.

-
I have a SG-1100 and getting the same results, signal 4 (core dump).
-
It is still being looked at but is much lower priority than some other things right now.
-
I can confirm it compiles and runs on SG-3100 with the following flags when using telegraf's master and go 1.14.1:
CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=freebsd GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build ./cmd/telegraf
I'm downloading the ports repository now to try and make the package.

@stephenw10 I installed the latest Telegraf 0.9_3 package on my SG-1100 today. I'm on pfSense 2.4.5. When I try to start the service I get a continuous stream of core dumps in the system log.
Apr 19 19:36:18 kernel pid 29205 (telegraf), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped)
Apr 19 19:36:21 kernel pid 29379 (telegraf), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped)
Apr 19 19:36:25 kernel pid 29647 (telegraf), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped) -
Thanks for the feedback.
We are are aware of the problems and are looking at it. We are very busy right now though so no ETA I'm afraid.Steve

@stephenw10 Is there anyway to assist in the progress? I've done lot's of compiling on Linux systems, never on a BSD system, but should be similar after learning the file structure and lib locations.
-
Updated to the 0.9_4 package version, still no joy.
-
i am also waiting for this official release
-
We were going to buy a batch of the 3100's for home users and offices, but knowing it won't support Telegraf is a deal breaker for us and we may have to look at other options now.
-
While we wait for the official plugin. Is there any community documentation I can follow to get telegraf up and running on a SG-3100 without going via the official plugin system?
-
I believe @kamushadenes was trying to make a package before (https://forum.netgate.com/post/904312), I wonder how that went.
That being said - it would be awesome if the Netgate team was able to get this working again .
I'm in the same boat as @g0nz0uk - looking to get a couple more SG-3100's - but I want to make sure it's still a support platform.Is there a replacement for the SG-3100 (similar pricepoint and capacity) coming out? I'd rather get whatever you have new than buy the SG-3100 and find out it's deprecated.

Hi everyone. So the last post in this thread got me thinking. I have a raspberry pi 3b+ laying around it has a A53 (ARMv8) 64-bit processor. I'm wondering if I install FreeBSD on the Pi and then run a clean build of telegraf will it port over? Does anyone see any reason why this wouldn't work? This may get us running on the SG-1100. I'd really like to hear your thoughts before I attempt this.
