A small GoLang application to read the temperatures from ds18b20 style sensors and report it to stdout in influxdb format.

This is a very good companion to Telegraf's exec input plugin.

Adding to Telegraf

Copy the executable into the $PATH

cp ./gosensor /usr/local/bin/gosensor

Add this to your Telegraf configuration:

[[inputs.exec]]

   ]
   timeout = "60s"
   data_format = "influx"

And reload telegraf with sudo service telegraf reload
