Rasberry Pi Collector
Any thoughts on making it possible to install a collector on a Raspberry Pi device? Has this been tested/tried since this feature request 4 years ago?

@S P,
Thanks for your feedback! As of now, the collector is still limited to running on X86 architecture. For our clients with remote locations, we often recommend compute sticks like this: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Compute-Computer-Processor-BOXSTK1AW32SC/dp/B01AZC4NHS.
Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Well I would like to use the Raspberry Pi (<$75 with a case, PSU and SD card) as an embeddable collector. The Pi supports Python, Java, Javascript, PHP, C, C++, etc... so a lack of tools couldn't be the problem.
I understand that a compute stick ($149) works for you and the dev team, since you don't have to do anything.
It doesn't work for me as it runs Windows, which means security patches, automatic reboots that I can't turn off sometimes, high vulnerability to being hacked, versus the PI, which runs Linux and is perfect for collecting 10 or less devices that need to be monitored.
Time to step up and assemble a "mini-collector" on the RaspberryPi 3B+, please!
You can install Linux (Ubuntu) on those Intel Compute Sticks or use something slightly larger like a Udoo x86, which costs less than $100, and that can run several normal Linux distributions as well.
