Hello All,
Is there a plugin I can use to monitor number of Hops. Like the Tracerout Output.
I know ping plugin collects average response time but I am interested in collecting number of Hops from My machine to lets say ex: www.google.com
Thanks in Advance.
You could try this traceroute script for use with the exec plugin.
Thank you @daniel
I have tried implementing this. I got the following traceroute output when I restart telegraf.
I am trying to implement to count the number of hops taken from my machine to google.com
But I am not able to query the max number of hops i.e the total number of hops in InfluxDB.
I am using the following query
SELECT max(“hop_num”) FROM “traceroute” WHERE (“host” = ‘ip-xx.xx.xx.xx’) AND $timeFilter GROUP BY time($__interval) fill(null)
I also used last filter and replaced with max
traceroute,hop_num=6,host=xx.xx.xx.xx,project=infrastructure,os=linux,customer=mmltest,target_loc=gdns,target_ip=www.google.com,hop_host=100.65.8.129,factory=project,platform=aws resp_time=0.443 1524596067000000000

This is because hop_num is a tag, if you make it a field you will able to use it with max.
Hello @daniel thanks for the reply, Love Influx Community always there to help me out.
I followed the Influx Line protocol and implemented so now hop_num is a field tag now.
But I dont see any data related to hops in influxDB.
I dont see any errors in the telegraf.log file either as the inputs.exec is loaded to influxDB.
And when I see in the database there is a series of below data, Its weird that I have this data but not real time data.
show series from “traceroute”
key
–
traceroute,factory=project,host=xx.xx.xx.xx,os=linux,platform=aws,project=infrastructure,target_ip=www.google.com,target_loc=gdns
I am not sure if this has something to do .
I see series of error messages in telegraf.log file

It looks like it is working, all batches are written each interval. Try to work your way backwards: use the influx shell to check for data select * from procstat order by time desc limit 1;, if that doesn’t help enable a file output with namepass = "traceroute". Depending on what you see you can can add debugging code to the exec script, just have it write to a file: echo foo >> /tmp/telegraf.exec.
