## Configuration file locations
The location of the configuration file can be set via the `--config` command
line flag. Telegraf will also pick up all files matching the pattern `*.conf` if
the `-config-directory` command line flag is used.
On most systems, the default locations are `/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf` for
the main configuration file and `/etc/telegraf/telegraf.d` for the directory of
configuration files.
