Im using a bash script to read values and send them to mqtt broker.
Created MQTT Sensors to read the mqtt values
Maybe you have to change some things, i got this script from internet and was already good for my needs.
change mqtthost, user, password and topic to your needs
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip
sudo pip install paho-mqtt
sudo pip install psutil
sudo reboot
cd /home/pi/
nano systemdata.py
