Hi, first and foremost, thank you a lot for sharing your code with the world! I have several gaming machines for my kids and I use this to monitor the temperature of their computers to make sure everything is running smoothly.

While not an issue per say, when running the executable application and invoking the inputs.exec collector on telegram, the application automatically adds a tag for the host, and it defaults to my computer name (I see in your code that you have this explicitly set up). I have in my telegram configuration a host override defined (different than the computer name) and it woks well for any input I have. The problem the I have is that I run visual indicators and graphs via Grafana and they are set up per the host name I pre-defined (I have several machines that are monitored), and since the coretemp input shows up under a different host name, then I breaks my panels/automation.

I tried using the the [tag.exclude] command under the inputs.exec, and it does its job.. it strips the predefined host given by your application, but then telegraph fails to assign the global host that I defined.

I also tried using a [process.string.rename] to change the key, but I wasn't successful in any of my tries.

So, my question is, is there a reason why you decided to add the host directly from your application and into telegram/influx? why not let the global tag on telegram do this? and, do you know of a way that I could modify, transform or replace the host tag given during the inputs.exec command?

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Hello.

When I run telegraf from command line the program works perfectly. However, when I try to run it as a service then the shared memory of Core Temp can not be read.
Is there any way to make it run as a service?

This source file includes a library:
GetCoreTempInfoDelphi in 'libraries\GetCoreTempInfoDelphi.pas';
but that library is not included in this repository. Is it available somewhere else??
