Hi, I have a Shelly Plus H&T temperature and humidity sensor that transmits its readings to an MQTT broker. I want to use telegraf to get these readings into my InfluxDB (v1.8). I have already looked at the MQTT Consumer Input Plugin and experimented with it. However, the problem is that the Shell…

Hello @Stefonaut , This user had a similar problem: [image] [inputs.kafka_consumer] Error in plugin: the path id doesn't exist Telegraf I have set up a Kafka Broker and a producer correctly, I can send and receive info from the topic I have created. I’ve serialized my JSON…

@Stefonaut , The JSON v2 config that you have added will apply to every topic that attempts to get read. In your case, only the temperature topic has this field, while everything else does not, hence the 9 messages about the field not existing. What is your goal? If you want to ignore the error me…

@Anaisdg @jpowers , thank your for your input. I tried with this config now, also trying to get more than one value: [[inputs.mqtt_consumer]] topics = [ "shellyplusht-80XXXXXXXXXX/status/+" ] topic_tag = "topic" [[inputs.mqtt_consumer.topic_parsing]] topic = "+/+/+" tags = "she…

Unfortunately, optional=true does not seem to suppress the error messages, Those are now debug messages not errors like before. Note the D vs E. As I mentioned, the optional config option suppresses the error messages. Can the search that [[inputs.mqtt_consumer.json_v2.field]] performs be restr…

Those are now debug messages not errors like before. Note the D vs E. You are right. I had debug set to true, so they of course will still be shown. You can by specifying a different mqtt_consumer plugin for each topic you want to monitor. Would i then still be able to combine all the informa…

[image] Stefonaut: I plan on using a pivot ( What the Pivot() is Going On with the MQTT Plugin? | InfluxData ) to combine this into that: Scratch that, I must have misunderstood the pivot plugin. I’ll have to take a closer look.

Unfortunately, I have not found a completely satisfactory solution. I have settled for not being able to save all values in my InfluxDB. I also had to do without some tags. For reference, below is my complete telegraf config. [global_tags] [agent] interval = "1s" round_interval = true metri…

If each point that you want to merge contained the same timestamp, then you could use the Merge aggregator plugin . However, if your timestamps are different (as in your example), how will you decide which points to merge and what the final timestamp should be?

IIUC, you might want telegraf/plugins/aggregators/final at master · influxdata/telegraf · GitHub
