Summary

Add a Mavlink input plugin.

The mavlink plugin connects to a MavLink-compatible flight controller such as as ArduPilot or PX4. and translates all incoming messages into metrics.

The purpose of this plugin is to allow Telegraf to be used to ingest live flight metrics from unmanned systems (drones, planes, boats, etc.)

Telegraf is already often used on flight computers (eg a Raspberry Pi) to collect system metrics for drones and it would be valuable to extend this to also provide a convenient way to record flight telemetry.

TODO

  • gomavlib is currently on a fork to support reading serial ports on i386 and darwin. Will need to upstream the fix for this and move back to the main repo after merge, or before merge if the forked gomavlib is not acceptable
