Can you post the mppsolar conf file Also can you post the output of mosquitto_sub -t # -v

[AnKloss]

mppsolar conf

[SETUP]

Number of seconds to pause between command execution loop

0 is no pause, greater than 60 will cause service restarts

pause=10 mqtt_broker=localhost

This example would work on 2x PIP4048 installed in parallel

[Inverter_1] protocol=PI30 port=/dev/ttyUSB0 porttype=serial baud=2400 command=QPGS0 tag=QPGS0 outputs=mqtt,screen

[Inverter_2] protocol=PI30 port=/dev/ttyUSB0 baud=2400 command=QPGS1 tag=QPGS1 outputs=mqtt,screen

I don't know if the mqtt output works with telegraf.

I used the influx2_mqtt output, can you try that (change in mpp-solar.conf)

[AnKloss]

outputs=mqtt,screen change to outputs=influx2_mqtt right ?

[jblance]

Yes.

[jblance]

You can run mppsolar on the command line while passing the config file in with mpp-solar -C /etc/mpp-solar/mpp-solar.conf (make sure to use the path to your config file and stop the service first) This will make testing easier

[AnKloss]

looks like is working mfg Andreas Kloss

in Telegraf i get this error ul 12 07:21:08 ubuntu telegraf[1692]: time="2021-07-12T07:21:08Z" level=error msg="failed to open. Ignored. open /etc/telegraf/.cache/snowflake/ocsp_response_cache.json: permission denied\n" func="gosnowflak.....and so on

I don't use telegraf myself anymore but it looks like a telegraf specific error
