How to disable/stop the collecting of smart home data?

[Agrigor]

Hi there, I use fritzcollectd allong with influxdb and I am also gathering the smart home data in addition over the http-API of AVM by a self-written python script on serverside. So, in the end I have the double amount of data in my database.

Is it possible to switch off the collection of smart home data without rewriting (eg with comments) the existing code? The data gathered over the TR-069 protocol should remain (such as totalbytessent etc.).

Thanks in advance and kind regards, Agrigor

That's not supported at the moment, but it's for sure a valid feature request.

@Agrigor : collectd offers filter rules. I never tried them, but they should allow you to drop the smart home data before they reach any consumer.

A bit in analogy to telegraf plugins, which have often have limited configuration options, but with suitable tagpass and tagdrop plus fielddrop and tagexclude one can control quite well what's send out.
