Hi all I’m very new to Telegraf and I’m trying to convert the incoming values in this json string sent by my MQTT broker to the correct type.
“time”:“2022-10-20T22:59:36Z”,“apmac”:“E4:95:6E:44:3E:89”,“mymac”:“E0:E2:E6:96:65:E8”,“wrssi”:“-71”,“bmac”:“d36764319e6c”,“brssi”:-68
This is for a BLE becon tracking system.
I would also like to convert the time as this is the time on the sensor.
Further I was wondering I will need to operate many of my queries on based on mac addresses, is it better to store them as XX:XX:XX…or simply the string without the : ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I found some examples but I just can’t make heads and tails of them.
Thank you
