#### Contributing an External Plugin *(experimental)*
Input plugins written for internal Telegraf can be run as externally-compiled plugins through the [Execd Input Plugin](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/execd) without having to change the plugin code.
Follow the guidelines of how to integrate your plugin with the [Execd Go Shim](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/execd/shim) to easily compile it as a separate app and run it from the inputs.execd plugin.
