[influxdb] trying to create inputs.exec fails

[r***@controlup.com]

Hii all,

Using latest telegraf (1.5), I am trying to add the output of ps -aux to
the telegraf via inputs.exec

my inputs.exec :

[[inputs.exec]]
commands = [ "/bin/bash /opt/processes.bash" ]
timeout = "5s"
data_format = "json"


/opt/processes.bash :

/bin/ps aux | jq -sR '[sub("\n$";"") | splits("\n") | sub("^ +";"") |
[splits(" +")]] | .[0] as $header | .[1:] | [.[] | [. as $x | range($header
| length) | {"key": $header[.], "value": $x[.]}] | from_entries]'



i do not see the info in the outputs.file (i created an output json file to
see the data, but i is not there).

What am i missing ?

Regard,

Ronen

BTW,

i can see that my script is running every 10 sec. (i added an echo to a
file with a date).

tail -f /tmp/mytest.txt

telegraf 2018-01-10_16:53:40
telegraf 2018-01-10_16:53:50
telegraf 2018-01-10_16:54:00
telegraf 2018-01-10_16:54:10
telegraf 2018-01-10_16:54:20


so it is not a permission issue.
