Add FreeBSD ARM binaries for Telegraf #5714

Closed victorhooi closed 3 years ago

victorhooi commented 5 years ago

This is related to https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/5665

Currently, FreeBSD binaries are only provided for x64. However, there are no ARM builds.

Is it possible to add ARM builds for FreeBSD please?

Netgate makes several pfSense-based firewalls based on ARM (e.g. SG-1100, SG-3100 etc.), which would benefit from these binaries as well, for testing newer releases.

Is there any update on this please?

danielnelson commented 4 years ago

I highly recommend using @girgen's packages on freshports. Even after we add an official arm package it will make sense to continue to use that package, though I still want to add one primarily to ensure that we don't break the build.

victorhooi commented 4 years ago

Is there any chance there might be ARM binaries for FreeBSD anytime soon? =)

(https://forum.netgate.com/topic/142836/telegraf-for-arm-systems-e-g-netgate-sg-3100/ - The Netgate folks seem to be having a lot of trouble compiling it successfully for the Netgate SG-3100, which is ARMv6).

danielnelson commented 4 years ago

Can you verify this is working?

victorhooi commented 4 years ago

I just tried uploading that tarball to my SG-3100 device, and running telegraf/usr/bin/telegraf:

[2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT][root@grandstandparade.localdomain]/root/telegraf/usr/bin: ./telegraf
runtime: this system has multiple CPUs and must use
atomic synchronization instructions. Recompile using GOARM=7.

Does that help?

girgen commented 4 years ago

Hi!

As said above, the standard FreeBSD ports/packages have support for arm6 and arm7. Could you please explain if there are any problems using the package?

just run pkg add telegraf

This is for deploying on pfSense appliances, like the Netgate SG-3100.

There's a discussions here - https://forum.netgate.com/topic/142836/telegraf-for-arm-systems-e-g-netgate-sg-3100/2 - where the team talks about the issues they've had getting Telegraf to compile.

AFAIK, it's not supported to install FreeBSD packages directly onto pfSense (They pull from Freshports).

However, if there's a place I can get the vanilla FreeBSD telegraf package for arm7, I'd be happy to try it, to at least see if the binary runs.

I'm using pfSense 2.5, which I believe is based on FreeBSD 12.1

I looked in the below directories, and couldn't find a telegraf package:

http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:armv7/release_1/All/ http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:armv7/quarterly/All/

@girgen Do you know where I can download the arm7 telegraf binary for FreeBSD 12.1, to try out please?

girgen commented 4 years ago

I have no first hand experience with pfSense, I’ll have to check how they handle packages.

Is this documentation relevant?

Right, but you need to point it at full URL for a package - and as mentioned, I can't see a telegraf package in:

Is that by intention, or am I looking into the wrong place?

victorhooi commented 4 years ago

@girgen Per earlier message - there doesn't actually appear to be armv7 packages for Telegraf?

Is this an error, or is this by design?

cl-ansy commented 3 years ago

Has anyone been able to look into this more?

PFSense is Freebsd but with magic and a web ui for PF.

When this was initially asked about on the Freebsd side, someone was able to hack together version 1.9.0 of telegraf to work on pfsense. Since then, I have been using this package on every vertion of pfsense that's come out for my Netgate SG-3100

If I can offer my router as sacrifice to Influx I'd be more than happy.
