InfluxDB 2.0 and future of the fritzcollectd -> influxdb -> grafana stack

See original GitHub issue

The README.me of the current Beta of InfluxDB V2.0 has the statement

- What is NOT planned? 
  - Direct support by InfluxDB for CollectD, StatsD, Graphite, or UDP.

So I wonder what the long term perspectives of the somehow popular “fritzcollectd -> influxdb -> grafana” stack is. Without build-in collectd support in influxdb one could continue with

   fritzconnection <- fritzcollectd
      -> collectd
      -> telegraf  (via socket_listener: data_format = "collectd")
      -> influxdb

Doesn’t look too attractive to me, there are shorter ways, like with a new fritztelegraf

  fritzconnection <- fritztelegraf (to be written)
      -> telegraf  (via execd: data_format = "influx"; signal = "STDIN")
      -> influxdb

which should also emit a schema better suited for influxdb, with one series per device and multiple fields.

Are there plans from the community behind fritzcollectd to embark on such a solution ?

I already use a python script to read the sensor data from the FRITZ!DECT 210 and 301 devices, store them in influxdb and visualize in Grafana. This script uses the libraries for influxdb and a self-written class to communicate over the AVM http-api with ssl and authentication. In addition it has also some code to read the data which fritzcollectd collects, but I commented it out to prevent doubled data. It is not that big (about 200 lines) and I planned to put that as repo on github some time, maybe it could help or I can help to rewrite this entire thing. 😃

@teeberg I guess, I will! But I definitely need some time beforehand to spiff it up, maybe the Christmas holidays will bring some time 😃
