#
+### i2pd Telegraf Plugin
#
+This is an exec based plugin for Telegraf designed to monitor an [i2pd](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd) instance. `idpd` is a C++ implementation of the [I2P](https://geti2p.net/en/) client.
#
+My website is now [available as an eepsite](https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/blog/privacy/bentaskercouk-now-available-on-i2p.html) and I wanted to be able to monitor the daemon.
#
+* Python Requests Module
#
+Assuming the plugin has been saved to `/usr/local/bin`
#
+ commands = ["/usr/local/bin/i2pd-statistics.py"]
#
+ data_format = "influx"
#
+By default, the plugin assumes that I2PD's web console is listening on `localhost:7070`.
#
+If that's not the case, then you can use an environment variable to override it (assuming here it's actually on 8080):
#
+ echo 'I2PD_CONSOLE="http://localhost:8080"' | sudo tee -a /etc/default/telegraf
#
+### Custom Measurement
#
+By default, the measurement will be called `i2pd` - if you want to change this then you can do so with environment variable `I2PD_MEASUREMENT`.
#
+ echo 'I2PD_MEASUREMENT="i2pd_stats"' | sudo tee -a /etc/default/telegraf
#
+`i2pd` doesn't expose stats in a machine readable format - it [generates html](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/blob/openssl/daemon/HTTPServer.cpp#L255) for both the Web interface and the QT based UI.
#
+Stats extraction, then, is inavoidably reliant on screen scraping - so if the way in which stats are presented changes in a later release, this plugin may fail to collect some (or all) stats.
#
+The plugin is also not currently coded particularly defensively - I wanted to get stats collection up and running quickly (so I could move onto building dashboards), with an aim to refactoring later (it also needs some DRY work).
