Could not iterate through Teamspeak 3 server instances

[ovitente]

First of all, i want to say thank you for this solution, it is great work!

I've successfully installed and configured telegraf+influxdb+grafana on gcloud instance, then added metric source, it connected fine. So i have working monitoring solution... but...

Issue description:
Telegraf cannot start compiled executable with arguments.

• -server
• -username
• -password

It just wont start until i remove arguments from telegraf config.
These part looks like this

In trying to solve this issue, i've executed this string in the simple linux console and received a message:
[Error] Could not iterate through Teamspeak 3 server instances

I am using teamspeak server on ruvoice.com, not my teamspeak hosting provider. So i don't have direct access to it, only by their control panel or via server query.
I have squery access to the server with not default server id, in example 644. I cannot change this, and that's why i've chose this solution, where i don't need to install some agent to the machine with teamspeak server.

So i think, the problem is because i cannot set server id manualy.
Am i right?

I am having the same response from script EVEN when I installed and configured regular, personal teamspeak server on the different machine, like on my own computer.

Hello,

please try to connect to the server query interface of your Teamspeak 3 server using the telnet command.

On MacOS/*nix just type: telnet <serverIP> <serverQueryPort>. On Windows you may have to install a tool like PuTTY first. It depends on your installed Windows version.

The output should look like this:

user@host:~$ telnet localhost 10011
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
TS3
Welcome to the TeamSpeak 3 ServerQuery interface, type "help" for a list of commands and "help <command>" for information on a specific command.

If the output does not look like the example output above you may have chosen the wrong Server Query port. Per default the port is set to 10011.

Actually, I am using squery all the time, to change the logo on teamspeak with this script
Here are two different servers, and access to them via telnet:

1. My personal ts3 server on gcloud.
   

2. Another server from ruvoice.com hoster that is not belong to me.

Hello,

all right, so that is not the issue here. Thank you.
Could you verify the following commands to inspect that strange behavior further?

login client_login_name=serveradmin client_login_password=<password>
serverlist

This should report a list of servers, e.g. like this:

virtualserver_id=18 virtualserver_port=9987 [...]

Take the server ID of your virtual instance - in my case it's 18 - and execute the following commands:

use 18
serverinfo

This should return a lot of information. Please report back if any of that commands are failing. If it works I'll dive into the problem to fix that issue. Furthermore your Teamspeak 3 server version would be nice to know.

Greetings,
Tobias
