Show HN: MavLink Input Plugin for Telegraf

I recently contributed this new plugin for Telegraf, Influx's open source telemetry agent.

This lets you collect metrics directly from a Mavlink stream, for example from an ArduPilot drone flight controller.

The end result is that you can now use standard telemetry pipeline tools - Telegraf, InfluxDB/VictoriaMetrics/TimescaleDB, and Grafana - to visualize livestreaming and historical data from drones.

I've been using this for the past few months professionally and it's been awesome to be able to use Grafana's graphing capabilities to plot things like vehicle speed, energy consumption, etc.
