Telegraf for ARM systems? (e.g. Netgate SG-3100).
-
For anyone who can use Prometheus instead of Telegraf, I recently found this blog post that might unblock you. I am not the author, and I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I'm posting just because I've been watching this thread hopefully for a long time, and I am pretty sure this will satisfy my monitoring needs when I get to it. https://brendonmatheson.com/2021/02/07/step-by-step-guide-to-connecting-prometheus-to-pfsense-via-snmp.html

I have a copy of the "telegraf-1.9.0.txz" from "https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/5282" if anyone wants / needs. I upgraded my SG-3100 via the gui and telegraf still survived after the 21.02 update. Thank Google for static linking...

Someone has to be able to do this. This /can/ work, but who's going to blink?
The code /looks/ to already be in FreeBSD. What am I missing? https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/master/net-mgmt/telegraf/Makefile
https://github.com/rickyzhang82/FreeBSDWiki/wiki / https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-cross-compile-port-in-amd64-for-armv7.71761/ , funny enough, is about the SG-3100 and how to build freebsd ports for it.
I'm going to try and get a newer version of telegraf built and report back. Hopefully I don't get paged this week.... >_>

Yes please, I would love to give it a go

Telegraf is now available again for arm64 systems, SG-1100 and SG-2100 systems.
Please test and let us know if you see any issues there.The same problems still exist for arm32(v6/7) but there is potential solution in the pipeline.

I was excited to setup a TIG stack with my SG-3100 but very surprised to see that Telegraf wasn't available from the package manager. However, after learning about pfSense's uPnP performance, I wasn't very surprised to see that this has been an issue for over a year without any resolution. @stephenw10 you mentioned last March that you do not have any armv6 build hardware... do you guys still need an SG-3100?

OK OK OK, I'm working on the build now. Going with Science....
Edit: Dear Science the compiles take forever. An hour into building GO.... Ryzen 3900x...

Isn't the SG-3100 armv7? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A9

Looks like it. So any ideas what version of Telegraf is worth installing on the SG-3100? And looking around, there doesn't seem to be up to date documentation on how to install a package outside of what's available from the package manager... do you have a guide you'd recommend for installation?

If it's a compiled package you can just add it:
pkg add <path-to-package>As long as the dependencies are met.

@somken TY for that. I've just tried to download it and it appears that request is timing out.

Please @stephenw10. Please get this pushed forward. There is no real reason this can't work as it does work with an older version. I'll be figuring out the build process tonight, but the FreeBSD's ports tree already supports Telegraf on ARMv7 https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/master/net-mgmt/telegraf/Makefile#L14
Anyone want to take bets on how long it takes to compile on the SG-3100? I say 3 hours.

Can you extract the file and run telegraf --version?
Screenshot for proof of life
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.

@somken I've placed files, will be playing with it next few days. TY
Hopefuly Netgate will finally release official pkg @stephenw10 -

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.... >_>
