Custom Telegraf conf

[edz]

I'm moving across from pfSense and am poking around opnsense.

I've come across a scenario where I need to add a custom input into telegraf.conf to run a script and read CPU temp.  There is no ability to add custom inputs from the Telegraf inputs GUI and if I were to manually edit /usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf it is overwritten when telegraf or opnsense is restarted.

Is there a way to make custom configuration persistent?

If you want to use custom configurations you should remove the plugin and install the service manually. This way you can keep the configuration and the system will not touch it. The only other thing you have to do is manually set up rc.conf settings for the respective service and the system will take care of autostart.

Otherwise go to https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title= and tell us about your use case to be able to add it to the plugin.

Thanks Franco. I’ll try the manual approach first but your suggestion of raising a feature request is great, I’m sure others may benefit too.

That's the general idea of why we insist on it


Thanks,
