It use some cli tool to get info from systemctl invoke, output the info use InfluxDB line protocal format

Requirements

• bash > 4.0 (because of mapfile use, you can also follow this changing this script for lower version bash
• coreutils (for date, tr
• grep
• sudo
• systemd

Your need install Telegraf + InfluxDB + Grafana before use this script.

Install

A maybe proper practice

mkdir -p ~/.config/user_telegraf_plugin/shell
cd ~/.config/user_telegraf_plugin/shell
git clone https://github.com/zzndb/srvstatus
cd srvstatus
chmod +x srvstatus.sh

Add your needed system service name into service_list file, one name per line.

Then configure the Telegraf [[inputs.exec]] section like this:

[[inputs.exec]]
  commands = [
    "/home/your_user_name/.config/user_telegraf_plugin/shell/srvstatus/srvstatus.sh"
  ]

  timeout = "5s"
  data_format = "influx"
