Releasing Telegraf2Hassio for remote servers monitoring

Telegraf2Hassio

This addon will let you display Telegraf stats of a running instance directly on you Home Assistant dashboard, using self discoverable MQTT sensors.

Differently from most Telegraf integrations approaches out there, this addon does not need InfluxDB neither Grafana dashboards to display Telegraf’s data. Instead, it translates Telegraf’s native MQTT messages into Home Assistant self-discoverable ones, such that it can detect and present your data with ease.

Dashboard example

Below an example dashboard I brought up real quick. I really hope to see some much cooler ones once some dedicated people start to play around with it.

Find also the source code to it here: example_dashboard.yaml

And the corresponding Telegraf config on my server side: telegraf.conf

Note that this is a reduced config file, only showing the uncommented lines of the original file by

cat /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf | grep -v "#" | grep .

It is likely that other addons and sensors may work out of the box with this addon, but I cannot guarantee, since this is the only config I tested so far. If something goes wrong, feel free to make a PR and contribute to this addon :slight_smile:
