readsb-protobuf VS Telegraf

Mictronic's aircraft database appears to be available on github as json. It looks like they may also have the type descriptions from the ICAO doc available in json at the same link. I haven't looked that closely at the data. Previously I wrote some code to scrape it from the ICAO site.

this sub recently turned me on to readsb-protobuf, which is a more modern decoder that fills the same role as dump1090. there's a really nice Docker container that packages it up, and includes an output to InfluxDB, a time-series database. so you could potentially build this as a set of queries against an Influx instance, rather than maintaining your own state in a JSON file.

If you're interested in seeing your own data then you could just run something like readsb (https://github.com/Mictronics/readsb-protobuf) and tar1090 (https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090)

Depending on what you're running, you can push to plane.watch via a combination of readsb and mlat-client or we can pull from you - jump into the Discord and we'll see what works?

I find the dependencies for readsb-protobuf really difficult to install manually according to the instructions at https://github.com/Mictronics/readsb-protobuf.

There's really no need to pay FA to use an api for data that is publicly available. https://github.com/Mictronics/readsb-protobuf/tree/dev/webapp/src/db

The Telegraf (v1.27.3) Net Input Plugin only reports total numbers - i.e., total bytes received by an interface.

I need some help with Filestat - https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/filestat

That's the thing, I do need network_mode: host on telegraf in order to get host network statistics. See here or here

After screwing around with it for a while, I was able to get inputs.smart working... but I'm not thrilled with the answer. According to this in order for you to get the SMART data inside a container you need to edit the sudoers file inside the container.

I’ve been using the Jolokia agent with telegraf to push JVM metrics into InfluxDB (among other things). I think it can be used with Prometheus too.

Do you mean Telegraf?

I have two devices; both are connected to a Raspberry Pi using a USB converter as Slave 1 and 2. I want to get some readings using Telegraf software https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.26/plugins/inputs/modbus (happy to try any other linux software), but I'm having trouble (I'm seriously confused to be honest) with byte_order, data_type, and input register addresses.

Yeah i think you can use the grok processor, docs found here: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/parsers/grok
