Hey, is it normal that i am getting double or sometimes even triple identical readings during each pull?
I discovered this while attempting to do some filtering and report only S.M.A.R.T. values. If i disable filtering then i end up pulling and eventually pushing 1000 metrics every 10 seconds.

Attached is console output via stdout and my settings:

[agent]
debug = true
quiet = false
interval = "15s"

round_interval = true

Hello,

I tried this plugin and it works great on a desktop. When I tried it on a server, I get the error: "didn't read full shared memory buffer".

c:\Program Files\InfluxData\telegraf\plugins>hwinfo-telegraf-plugin.exe
2022/10/18 18:52:25 No config found. Loading default config for plugin hwinfo
{"level":"fatal","time":"2022-10-18T18:52:26+03:00","message":"didn't read full shared memory buffer"}

I guess there are many sensors on that server (686 columns in CSV export). Do you have suggestions how to debug this?
Thanks.

Hello,

would it be possible to include the sensor/integrated program “PresentMon”? Apparently the sensor is not being used yet (HWiNFO64 v7.72-5355).

Thank you very much!
