Not writing to the database

[sukumarpatel]

I am running telegraf in a docker. The docker config is as below telegraf: container_name: telegraf image: telegraf:latest network_mode: "host" volumes:

• /home/pi/telegraf-influxdb-grafana/conf/telegraf/telegraf.conf:/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
• /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
• /usr/bin/speedtest:/etc/telegraf/speedtest restart: always

My input config is as below

[[inputs.exec]] commands = ["/etc/telegraf/speedtest -s 10637 -f json-pretty"] name_override = "Speedtest" timeout = "1m" interval = "10m" data_format = "json" json_string_fields = [ "interface_externalIp", "server_name", "server_location", "server_host", "server_ip", "result_url" ] name_suffix = "_speed"

[[outputs.influxdb]] database = "speed_metrics" urls = ["http://localhost:8086"] namepass = ["*_speed"]

If I run the command /etc/telegraf/speedtest -s 10637 -f json-pretty from within the container via ssh, it runs successfully. However there is no logs in InfluxDB

Hello sukumarpatel,

please try the following command. The manuel accepting license dose not save. commands = ["/usr/bin/speedtest -f json-pretty --accept-license --accept-gdpr"]

Regards, Thomas

@sukumarpatel , when you manually run the speedtest command, is it the same user that runs your telegraf?

[sukumarpatel]

It's running in docker. I logged in to the container via bash and ran the command as root. I assume the user would be the same when docker is running.

I will try the accept license command.

Humm... I just tested -s 10637, from where I am located, it took ~50s for speedtest to complete. Unless you are closer to the test server in Mumbai, India and have faster connections, otherwise I would suggest increasing the timeout value to, say, 2m.

[sukumarpatel]

Right. I'll try that as well

It's completing in 20 seconds for me
