Hi,

I could bypass/ exclude somehow the snmp6?
It is wise to exclude?
telegraf-1.5.0-1.x86_64.rpm
/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
[[inputs.nstat]]

[root@server1 ~]# usr/bin/telegraf --config /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf --test

Try adding adding this option to your config:

[[inputs.nstat]]
  proc_net_snmp6 = "/dev/null"

Can you also let me know what Linux Distro and version you are using?
