Agent for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing metrics, logs, and other arbitrary data.
Telegraf is an agent for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing
metrics, logs, and other arbitrary data.
Users can choose plugins from a wide range of topics, including but not limited
to:
For binary builds, Docker images, RPM & DEB packages, and other builds of
Telegraf, please see the install guide.
See the releases documentation for details on versioning
and when releases are made.
Users define a TOML configuration with the plugins and settings they wish to
use, then pass that configuration to Telegraf. The Telegraf agent then
collects data from inputs at each interval and sends data to outputs at each
flush interval.
For a basic walkthrough see quick start.
For a full list of documentation including tutorials, reference and other
material, start with the /docs directory.
Additionally, each plugin has its own README that includes details about how to
configure, use, and sometimes debug or troubleshoot. Look under the
/plugins directory for specific plugins.
