# Graphite Output Plugin

This plugin writes to [Graphite](http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html)
via raw TCP.

For details on the translation between Telegraf Metrics and Graphite output,
see the [Graphite Data Format](../../../docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md)

### Configuration:

```toml
# Configuration for Graphite server to send metrics to
[[outputs.graphite]]
  ## TCP endpoint for your graphite instance.
  ## If multiple endpoints are configured, the output will be load balanced.
  ## Only one of the endpoints will be written to with each iteration.
  servers = ["localhost:2003"]
  ## Prefix metrics name
  prefix = ""
  ## Graphite output template
  ## see https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
  template = "host.tags.measurement.field"

  ## Graphite templates patterns
  ## 1. Template for cpu
  ## 2. Template for disk*
  ## 3. Default template
  # templates = [
  #  "cpu tags.measurement.host.field",
  #  "disk* measurement.field",
  #  "host.measurement.tags.field"
  #]

  ## Enable Graphite tags support
  # graphite_tag_support = false

  ## timeout in seconds for the write connection to graphite
  timeout = 2

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false
```
