Telegraf for Suse SLES

1

Hi,

Tried to install Telegraf on Suse SLES 11 SP3. Imported the repo based on:

But the repository does have Telegraf package (only InfluxDB).

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gjorgji

@zare In the documentation it looks like there is a download for telegraf:

# add go repository
zypper ar -f obs://devel:languages:go/ go
# install latest telegraf
zypper in telegraf

Are you saying those installation instructions don’t work?

Yes, the repo registers fine, but install gives:

Package ‘telegraf’ is not available in your repositories

@zare Those repos are not maintained by us. They are maintained by openSUSE Build Service. You might want to reach out to them.

Otherwise, if you can build golang projects, I would recommend building from source. Does this help?

I’ve installed for source, but will like to make rpm. Looking at the build.py script, is rpm build supported? I dont see that mapped to input switches

7

@zare Yes! We actually have the .rpm packages available for download.

Yes but they dont work correctly for Suse SLES 11. I found how to fix the pre and post install shell scripts, but cannot get the build.py build the rpm
