      Just tried to install that package on SG-3100 running 21.05 and ... 1fc2b48b-d6ca-4742-baac-61efb5a590bf-image.png 😞

      Can you extract the file and run telegraf --version?

      As mentioned before, I remember having to extract the .txz and manually placing the files where they needed to go (as this is a one-off build and may of not been fully packaged correctly) Thankfully the package retained the directory structure so it should be a simple scp after extracting. Because telegraf is static linked, it has all of its dependencies inside of the binary.

          Woot! Looks like you got it working too; Nice.

          I'll offer any help I can. I can share my telegraf.conf if you want a reference, but it's just telegraf at this point.

          I reached out to a dev directly, not throwing anyone under the bus, and they believe it would take days to compile everything to get this working. Now to figure out what boards are out there that are armv7.... >_>

            That would be fab! telegraf.conf will deffinately help. I've been playing with grafana/influx and have it running on different box to monitor my network gear, openHAB, Docker and few Synology, but haven't been playing with telegraf yet. I'm no dev nor linux expert but I get by. Still need to more reading on telegraf, plugins ...

              I can't elaborate on how long it will take to get it compiled, but there is a lot of ppl waiting to have this sorted. It's been going for a while (just this threat since April 2020).

                      How to build your own version of Telegraf from source. The magic is to build it on another machine.

                      The magic:

                      GOARM=7 GOOS=freebsd GOARCH=arm go build ./cmd/telegraf

                        Hmm, interesting. Let me see what's preventing us doing that.

                          Awesome. If Netgate feels compelled to bug bounty this (I doubt it), donate to Doctors Without Boarders for me.

                              @szymon Not that I have any updates, but Influxdb might(?) be moving forward to build an ARM package for Freebsd - https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/9100. They just created a page to list everything they support and Freebsd is listed :)

                                @somken it’s good sign. Hopefully pfSense will address it as well.

                                    Telegraf just closed the PR needed to build Telegraf upstream for ARM on FreeBSD. The provided example compile, which is just my steps in their workflow, successfully built a working package. Having used it since I got asked a few days ago, zero issues.

                                      Just got a PR merged in to add URLs for FreeBSD armv7 links to the nightly list.

                                      https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/9268

                                      Hopefully the SG-3100 can have official support soon...

                                            Oh look, 1.18.3 officially supports ARMv7. Wonder who did that... >_>

                                            This thread is becoming a meme, isn't it?
