# Telegraf [![Circle CI](https://circleci.com/gh/influxdata/telegraf.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/influxdata/telegraf) [![Docker pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/library/telegraf.svg)](https://hub.docker.com/_/telegraf/)
2015-05-20 05:26:13 +00:00
Telegraf is an agent written in Go for collecting, processing, aggregating,
and writing metrics.
2015-06-19 16:34:27 +00:00
Design goals are to have a minimal memory footprint with a plugin system so
that developers in the community can easily add support for collecting metrics
from local or remote services.
2015-06-19 16:34:27 +00:00
Telegraf is plugin-driven and has the concept of 4 distinct plugins:
1. [Input Plugins](#input-plugins) collect metrics from the system, services, or 3rd party APIs
2. [Processor Plugins](#processor-plugins) transform, decorate, and/or filter metrics
3. [Aggregator Plugins](#aggregator-plugins) create aggregate metrics (e.g. mean, min, max, quantiles, etc.)
4. [Output Plugins](#output-plugins) write metrics to various destinations
For more information on Processor and Aggregator plugins please [read this](./docs/AGGREGATORS_AND_PROCESSORS.md).
New plugins are designed to be easy to contribute,
2016-01-07 22:21:10 +00:00
we'll eagerly accept pull
requests and will manage the set of plugins that Telegraf supports.
