[[inputs.exec]] is not passing data to influxdb

InfluxDB 2
1

Hello, I have previously posted about this topic before. However, I am now setting up telegraf/influxdb onto another machine now.

I have implemented the [[inputs.exec]] plugin as well as the [[outputs.exec]] plugin into /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf. By doing this, it worked on my old machine. However, with this same implementation on my new machine, it isn’t passing data from the exec input plugin into influxdb.

I have also tested my [[inputs.exec]] plugin by doing:

sudo -u telegraf telegraf --config /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf --input-filter exec --test

And it executes my script successfully. I am just wondering why the data isn’t being reflected in the influxdb.

Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Hello @dpatawaran,
Can you please share your config? Set debug=true in your config, and share your logs? Are you using the same version of Influxdb? What version are you using?
Thanks!

Hello, my log is saying:

Jun 1 16:02:00 isg-reporting telegraf[32552]: 2020-06-01T20:02:00Z E! [inputs.exec] Error in plugin: exec: exit status 1 for command ‘/home/patawdan/DNAC-NOC/dnac_assurance.py’: Traceback (most recent call last):…

Even though it’s giving me this error, I have tested the script within my machine and it is able to execute.

I am using Influxdb v1.8.0 and also Telegraf v.1.14.2
