Hello!
So, my google-fu is letting me down…
I’ve got an Ubuntu 16.04LTS running Telegraf 1.11.1-1, Mosquitto 1.4.8-1ubuntu0.16.04.7 and influxdb 0.10.0+dfsg1-1
I have a bunch of Tasmota-devices publishing sensor data to the Mosquitto, and all is well.
The sensors publish to the topic “tele/DEVICENAME/SENSOR” (Where devicename is unique per device)
The published payload is a JSON string like this
{“Time”:“2019-07-06T14:38:26”,“AM2301”:{“Temperature”:16.4,“Humidity”:70.7},“TempUnit”:“C”}
Great. Now i want Telegraf to grab this and do something useful. But, Despite having used telegraf previously for a variety of things, this is the first time i am trying the specific combination of MQTT and JSON… I’ve tried “all sort of things” but can not get telegraf to process the data and send to influx.
When i gave up last night, this was my telegraf.conf, and this (like everything else i have tried) gave me nothing in influx or my debug file. If i enable the “normal” system inputs, those gets inserted in influx nicely.
Sooo, could someone point me in the right direction?

Looking at the Mosquitto-log, it appears like Telegraf is listening. But what more do i need? Again, the above snipped is just one of many MANY iterations I have tried.
