One of our active community members took over the effort to merge PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB support into telegraf here, so hopefully that can make progress:
Yeah, I saw that. I guess I'm a just a little disappointed that nobody at the TimescaleDB team saw through the process. But I understand if you have higher priorities.
I still wonder what other people are using to feed information into TimescaleDB. I'm wondering if I should switch to a different approach, such as using Telegraf but routing the data to something else that will push data into TimescaleDB.
Don't want this to come across as overly defensive, but was under PR review for 3+ years by Influx with little progress (first submitted in November 2017) and during that period I think we did something like 2 significant rewrites. Became a bit of a moving target against telegraf that became harder to prioritize.
