Hello developers,

Just wondering can we hv a return value (boolean) in the send() method? Therefore we can at least realise the Telegraf is offline and we can log it our way. Thanks

@brianleung24 A return value isn't possible because by sending UDP packets to telegraf, pytelegraf doesn't cannot know if they were received or not. It's "fire-and-forget" with UDP.
