telegraf/etc/config.sample.toml

# Telegraf configuration

# If this file is missing an [agent] section, you must first generate a
# valid config with 'telegraf -sample-config > telegraf.toml'

# Telegraf is entirely plugin driven. All metrics are gathered from the
# declared plugins.

# Even if a plugin has no configuration, it must be declared in here
# to be active. Declaring a plugin means just specifying the name
# as a section with no variables. To deactivate a plugin, comment
# out the name and any variables.

# Use 'telegraf -config telegraf.toml -test' to see what metrics a config
# file would generate.

# One rule that plugins conform to is wherever a connection string
# can be passed, the values '' and 'localhost' are treated specially.
# They indicate to the plugin to use their own builtin configuration to
# connect to the local system.

# NOTE: The configuration has a few required parameters. They are marked
# with 'required'. Be sure to edit those to make this configuration work.

# Configuration for influxdb server to send metrics to
[outputs]
[outputs.influxdb]
# The full HTTP endpoint URL for your InfluxDB instance
url = "http://localhost:8086" # required.

# The target database for metrics. This database must already exist
database = "telegraf" # required.

# username = "telegraf"
# password = "metricsmetricsmetricsmetrics"

# Set the user agent for the POSTs (can be useful for log differentiation)
# user_agent = "telegraf"

# Tags can also be specified via a normal map, but only one form at a time:

# [influxdb.tags]
# tags = { "dc" = "us-east-1" }

# Configuration for telegraf itself
# [agent]
# interval = "10s"
# debug = false
# hostname = "prod3241"
