--debug turn on debug logging
--input-filter <filter> filter the inputs to enable, separator is :
--input-list print available input plugins.
--output-filter <filter> filter the outputs to enable, separator is :
--output-list print available output plugins.
--pidfile <file> file to write our pid to
--pprof-addr <address> pprof address to listen on, don't activate pprof if empty

# generate a telegraf config file:
telegraf config > telegraf.conf
# generate config with only cpu input & influxdb output plugins defined
telegraf --input-filter cpu --output-filter influxdb config
# run a single telegraf collection, outputing metrics to stdout
telegraf --config telegraf.conf --test
# run telegraf with all plugins defined in config file
telegraf --config telegraf.conf
# run telegraf, enabling the cpu & memory input, and influxdb output plugins
telegraf --config telegraf.conf --input-filter cpu:mem --output-filter influxdb
# run telegraf with pprof
telegraf --config telegraf.conf --pprof-addr localhost:6060
