#### Parsing Telegraf log file
We can use logparser to convert the log lines generated by Telegraf in metrics.
To do this we need to configure Telegraf to write logs to a file.
This could be done using the ``agent.logfile`` parameter or configuring syslog.
```toml
[agent]
logfile = "/var/log/telegraf/telegraf.log"
```
Logparser configuration:
```toml
[[inputs.logparser]]
files = ["/var/log/telegraf/telegraf.log"]
[inputs.logparser.grok]
measurement = "telegraf_log"
patterns = ['^%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp:ts-rfc3339} %{TELEGRAF_LOG_LEVEL:level:tag}! %{GREEDYDATA:msg}']
custom_patterns = '''
TELEGRAF_LOG_LEVEL (?:[DIWE]+)
'''
```
Example log lines:
```
2018-06-14T06:41:35Z I! Starting Telegraf v1.6.4
2018-06-14T06:41:35Z I! Agent Config: Interval:3s, Quiet:false, Hostname:"archer", Flush Interval:3s
2018-02-20T22:39:20Z E! Error in plugin [inputs.docker]: took longer to collect than collection interval (10s)
2018-06-01T10:34:05Z W! Skipping a scheduled flush because there is already a flush ongoing.
2018-06-14T07:33:33Z D! Output [file] buffer fullness: 0 / 10000 metrics.
```
Generated metrics:
```
