      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.... >_>

      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?

                                          We have made some pretty significant changes to our build system over the last few months. You may have noticed we now have Suricata 5 available in 21.09 and that was not possible previously because of the Rust dependency. The restriction here is very similar so with any luck we may be able to re-enable this soon. 🤞
