Consult the systemd journal +documentation for configuring journald. There is also a [`logfile` config option](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/etc/telegraf.conf#L70) +available in 1.1, which will allow users to easily configure telegraf to +continue sending logs to /var/log/telegraf/telegraf.log. + ### Features +- [#1732](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/1732): Telegraf systemd service, log to journal. - [#1782](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/1782): Allow numeric and non-string values for tag_keys. - [#1694](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/1694): Adding Gauge and Counter metric types. - [#1606](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/1606): Remove carraige returns from exec plugin output on Windows
