+# Mesos Input Plugin
+
+This input plugin gathers metrics from Mesos (*currently only Mesos masters*).
+For more information, please check the [Mesos Observability Metrics](http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/monitoring/) page.
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```toml
+# Telegraf plugin for gathering metrics from N Mesos masters
+[[inputs.mesos]]
+  # Timeout, in ms.
+  timeout = 100
+  # A list of Mesos masters. e.g. master1:5050, master2:5080, etc.
+  # The port can be skipped if using the default (5050)
+  # Default value is localhost:5050.
+  masters = ["localhost:5050"]
+  # Metrics groups to be collected.
+  # Default, all enabled.
+  master_collections = ["resources","master","system","slaves","frameworks","messages","evqueue","registrar"]
+```
