This is a tool to output metrics for various sensors that could be
used to monitor a SOHO rack. It's intended to be used via Telegraf's
execd plugin.
It's basically a catchall for what I want to use to monitor the environment that is not baked-in to Telegraf.
It may not may not be useful to you. It is only tested on Raspberry Pis running Raspbian OS. It should work anywhere you can hook up the necessary hardware, however. I try to avoid Raspberry Pi-specific code and if I cannot it will be noted. Each component is discrete, so only the sensor you are using needs to be present and functional.
This is a work in progress.
Currently this supports:
- d1w: Dallas 1-Wire temperature sensor via Linux kernel support.
Planned devices:
- TrippLite UPS via nut - An SMBUS-based temperature/humidity sensor
This is licensed under the standard MIT License. That's not negotiable. Inclusions of libraries that make that impossible are a non-starter. The terms of that license are required and are the limits of the requirements.
Suggestions on approaches to testing without the presence of the device(s) would be appreciated. As-is, testing is by hand, and not automated and that's gross. But my creativity there is lacking.
PRs are welcome. Issues are not very helpful at this stage. Feature requests will mostly be closed. Bug reports with out a PR will be noted, but likely not addressed promptly.
Adding support for other devices is appreciated, but I personally will only be targeting what I use because that's all I can test. Submissions of other device support will only be checked for style at this time.
If you want me to add a device that I don't have, you'll need to send me hardware and be patient :).
I have a job, family, and other toy projects. Please do not expect me to be super-responsive. If you love this and want to own it, you're welcome to fork and maintain more formally. I'll shut this down and refer to yours.
Please be polite and I will be polite as well. Confrontational or aggressive language won't be tolerated. I disdain that behavior so frequent in the OSS community.
