Alternative Native Method

[zfouts]

While investigating doing this on my own (and then finding yours), I learned you can actually dump the shell script and call pihole natively in the same way you the curl/jq command is doing..

Please see the following:

# PiHole monitoring
[[inputs.httpjson]]
  name = "pihole1_stats"
  servers = [
    "http://pihole.example.com/admin/api.php",
  ]
  response_timeout = "5s"
  method = "GET"```

Hi @zfouts. Sorry for the delay.
Have you noticed any differences between the data outputted by my script and the data directly from the pi-hole API? It's been a while since I used pi-hole.

Oh so sorry, I don't notice much at all.
