Community-contributed plugin installation on the official Telegraf app

Hello all 

New CtrlX user here! 
Has anybody had any experience with installing community-contributed plugin on the official Telegraf app? 
I'm using version 2.4.0+1.28.2 of Telegraf 

Best regards, 

Michael

MichaelEjigu,

The technical problem is that Telegraf is written in Go and compiles to a single binary. To execute this in ctrlX OS, it must be packaged as an Ubuntu snap. If a plugin needs to be added, the Telegraf source must be recompiled and packaged as a new snap.

The good news is that Telegraf (and the ctrlX fork) is open source. You can take this, add your custom plugin, recompile and package as a custom snap to install on the ctrlX OS system.
