+# CGroup Input Plugin For Telegraf Agent
+
+This input plugin will capture specific statistics per cgroup.
+
+Following file formats are supported:
+
+* Single value
+
+```
+VAL\n
+```
+
+* New line separated values
+
+```
+VAL0\n
+VAL1\n
+```
+
+* Space separated values
+
+```
+VAL0 VAL1 ...\n
+```
+
+* New line separated key-space-value's
+
+```
+KEY0 VAL0\n
+KEY1 VAL1\n
+```
+
+
+### Tags:
+
+All measurements have the following tags:
+  - path
+
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```
+# [[inputs.cgroup]]
+  # flush_scope = 10              # optional (the fields will be divided into parts of 10 items)

+  #   "/cgroup/memory/child1",    # container cgroup
