+# 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
+[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.

+
+# Set the user agent for the POSTs (can be useful for log differentiation)

+
+# Tags can also be specified via a normal map, but only one form at a time:
+
+# [influxdb.tags]
+# dc = "us-east-1"
+
+# Configuration for telegraf itself
+# [agent]
