[steverweber]

telegraf --version

processes is writing about 100log messages like the following everytime it sends metric.

Aug 15 21:18:04 slurm-pr1 telegraf[39801]: 2019-08-16T01:18:04Z I! processes: Unknown state [ P ] in file /proc/83/stat

telegraf/plugins/inputs/processes/processes.go

Line 182 in 7b73b0d

log.Printf("I! processes: Unknown state [ %s ] in file %s",

Perhaps add a case to ignore "P'' whatever P is

What operating system and version is this with?

[steverweber]

ubuntu 18.04

[danielnelson]

We will add support for P, which man proc describes as:

P Parked (Linux 3.9 to 3.13 only)

This is somewhat interesting, as even the original 18.04 kernel was 4.15. What does uname -a say on your system?

[steverweber]

also ; it is a server install of ubuntu

Linux slurm-t01 4.15.0-54-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 24 10:55:24 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linu

Could you grab the contents on one of the files that Telegraf is complaining about for me?

cat /proc/83/stat

[steverweber]
