## Graphite
The Graphite data format translates Telegraf metrics into _dot_ buckets. A
template can be specified for the output of Telegraf metrics into Graphite
The Graphite data format is translated from Telegraf Metrics using either the
template pattern or tag support method. You can select between the two
methods using the [`graphite_tag_support`](#graphite-tag-support) option. When set, the tag support
method is used, otherwise the [`template` pattern](#template-pattern) is used.
#### Template Pattern
The `template` option describes how Telegraf traslates metrics into _dot_
buckets. The default template is:

#### Graphite Tag Support
When the `graphite_tag_support` option is enabled, the template pattern is not
used. Instead, tags are encoded using
[Graphite tag support](http://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tags.html)
added in Graphite 1.1. The `metric_path` is a combination of the optional
`prefix` option, measurement name, and field name.
The tag `name` is reserved by Graphite, any conflicting tags and will be encoded as `_name`.
**Example Conversion**:

### Graphite Configuration
```toml
[[outputs.file]]
## Files to write to, "stdout" is a specially handled file.
files = ["stdout", "/tmp/metrics.out"]
## Data format to output.
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
## more about them here:
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
data_format = "graphite11"
# prefix each graphite bucket
prefix = "telegraf"
## Support Graphite tags, recommended to enable when using Graphite 1.1 or later.
# graphite_tag_support = false
