Hey everyone
I am trying to use mtr command and store the output to influxdb by using telegraf inputs.exec plugin in particular.
Telegraf config file:
# # Read metrics from one or more commands that can output to stdout
[[inputs.exec]]
# ## Commands array
commands = ["mtr -C 8.8.8.8 -i 0.2"]
#
# ## Timeout for each command to complete.
timeout = "0.2s"
#
# ## measurement name suffix (for separating different commands)
# name_suffix = "_mycollector"
#
# ## Data format to consume.
# ## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
# ## more about them here:
# ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
data_format = "csv"
csv_skip_rows = 1
csv_column_names=["","", "status","dest","hop","ip","loss","snt","","","avg","best","worst","stdev"]
name_override = "mtr"
csv_tag_columns = ["dest", "hop", "ip"]
Telegraf logs throw the following error:
[inputs.exec] Error in plugin: exec: exit status 1 for command 'mtr -C elastic.fmc -i 0.2': mtr: non-root users cannot request an interval < 1.0 seconds
So I tried to give telegraf all rights by changing my /etc/sudoers file for
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
## Allow telegraf to run command with sudo rights
telegraf ALL=(ALL) ALL
But unfortunately the error persists.
If anyone have any ideas how to solve this issue please help
Thanks in advance!
