-## v0.10.4 [unreleased]
+## v0.13 [2016-05-11]
+
+### Release Notes
+
+- **Breaking change** in jolokia plugin. See
+https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/plugins/inputs/jolokia/README.md
+for updated configuration. The plugin will now support proxy mode and will make
+POST requests.
+
+- New [agent] configuration option: `metric_batch_size`. This option tells
+telegraf the maximum batch size to allow to accumulate before sending a flush
+to the configured outputs. `metric_buffer_limit` now refers to the absolute
+maximum number of metrics that will accumulate before metrics are dropped.
+
+- There is no longer an option to
+`flush_buffer_when_full`, this is now the default and only behavior of telegraf.
+
+- **Breaking Change**: docker plugin tags. The cont_id tag no longer exists, it
+will now be a field, and be called container_id. Additionally, cont_image and
+cont_name are being renamed to container_image and container_name.
+
+- **Breaking Change**: docker plugin measurements. The `docker_cpu`, `docker_mem`,
+`docker_blkio` and `docker_net` measurements are being renamed to
+`docker_container_cpu`, `docker_container_mem`, `docker_container_blkio` and
+`docker_container_net`. Why? Because these metrics are
+specifically tracking per-container stats. The problem with per-container stats,
+in some use-cases, is that if containers are short-lived AND names are not
+kept consistent, then the series cardinality will balloon very quickly.
+So adding "container" to each metric will:
+(1) make it more clear that these metrics are per-container, and
+(2) allow users to easily drop per-container metrics if cardinality is an
+issue (`namedrop = ["docker_container_*"]`)
+
+- `tagexclude` and `taginclude` are now available, which can be used to remove
+tags from measurements on inputs and outputs. See
+[the configuration doc](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/CONFIGURATION.md)
+for more details.
+
+- **Measurement filtering:** All measurement filters now match based on glob
+only. Previously there was an undocumented behavior where filters would match
+based on _prefix_ in addition to globs. This means that a filter like
+`fielddrop = ["time_"]` will need to be changed to `fielddrop = ["time_*"]`
+
+- **datadog**: measurement and field names will no longer have `_` replaced by `.`
+
+- The following plugins have changed their tags to _not_ overwrite the host tag:
+  - cassandra: `host -> cassandra_host`
+  - disque: `host -> disque_host`
+  - rethinkdb: `host -> rethinkdb_host`
+
+- **Breaking Change**: The `win_perf_counters` input has been changed to
+sanitize field names, replacing `/Sec` and `/sec` with `_persec`, as well as
+spaces with underscores. This is needed because Graphite doesn't like slashes
+and spaces, and was failing to accept metrics that had them.
+The `/[sS]ec` -> `_persec` is just to make things clearer and uniform.
+
+- **Breaking Change**: snmp plugin. The `host` tag of the snmp plugin has been
+changed to the `snmp_host` tag.
+
+- The `disk` input plugin can now be configured with the `HOST_MOUNT_PREFIX` environment variable.
+This value is prepended to any mountpaths discovered before retrieving stats.
+It is not included on the report path. This is necessary for reporting host disk stats when running from within a container.

+### Release Notes
+- Breaking change in the dovecot input plugin. See Features section below.
+- Graphite output templates are now supported. See

 ## Generating a Configuration File

 A default Telegraf config file can be generated using the -sample-config flag:
-`telegraf -sample-config > telegraf.conf`
+
+```
+telegraf -sample-config > telegraf.conf
+```

 To generate a file with specific inputs and outputs, you can use the
 -input-filter and -output-filter flags:
-`telegraf -sample-config -input-filter cpu:mem:net:swap -output-filter influxdb:kafka`
+
+```
+telegraf -sample-config -input-filter cpu:mem:net:swap -output-filter influxdb:kafka
+```
+
+You can see the latest config file with all available plugins here:
+[telegraf.conf](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/etc/telegraf.conf)
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Environment variables can be used anywhere in the config file, simply prepend
+them with $. For strings the variable must be within quotes (ie, "$STR_VAR"),
+for numbers and booleans they should be plain (ie, $INT_VAR, $BOOL_VAR)

+* **tagdrop**: The inverse of tagpass. If a tag matches, the measurement is not
+emitted. This is tested on measurements that have passed the tagpass test.
+* **tagexclude**: tagexclude can be used to exclude a tag from measurement(s).
+As opposed to tagdrop, which will drop an entire measurement based on it's
+tags, tagexclude simply strips the given tag keys from the measurement. This
+can be used on inputs & outputs, but it is _recommended_ to be used on inputs,
+as it is more efficient to filter out tags at the ingestion point.
+* **taginclude**: taginclude is the inverse of tagexclude. It will only include

+# Running Telegraf as a Windows Service
+
+If you have tried to install Go binaries as Windows Services with the **sc.exe**
+tool you may have seen that the service errors and stops running after a while.
+
+**NSSM** (the Non-Sucking Service Manager) is a tool that helps you in a 
+[number of scenarios](http://nssm.cc/scenarios) including running Go binaries
+that were not specifically designed to run only in Windows platforms.
+
+## NSSM Installation via Chocolatey
+
+You can install [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) and [NSSM](http://nssm.cc/) 
+with these commands
+
+```powershell
+iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
+choco install -y nssm
+```
+
+## Installing Telegraf as a Windows Service with NSSM
+
+You can download the latest Telegraf Windows binaries (still Experimental at 
+the moment) from [the Telegraf Github repo](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf).
+
+Then you can create a C:\telegraf folder, unzip the binary there and modify the 
+**telegraf.conf** sample to allocate the metrics you want to send to **InfluxDB**.
+
+Once you have NSSM installed in your system, the process is quite straightforward.
+You only need to type this command in your Windows shell
+
+```powershell
+nssm install Telegraf c:\telegraf\telegraf.exe -config c:\telegraf\telegraf.config
+```
+
+And now your service will be installed in Windows and you will be able to start and
+stop it gracefully

+# Telegraf plugin: Cassandra
+
+#### Plugin arguments:
+- **context** string: Context root used for jolokia url
+- **servers** []string: List of servers with the format "<user:passwd@><host>:port"
+- **metrics** []string: List of Jmx paths that identify mbeans attributes
+
+#### Description
+
+The Cassandra plugin collects Cassandra/JVM metrics exposed as MBean's attributes through jolokia REST endpoint. All metrics are collected for each server configured.
+
+See: https://jolokia.org/ and [Cassandra Documentation](http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.x/cassandra/operations/monitoringCassandraTOC.html)
+
+# Measurements:
+Cassandra plugin produces one or more measurements for each metric configured, adding Server's name  as `host` tag. More than one measurement is generated when querying table metrics with a wildcard for the keyspace or table name.
+
+Given a configuration like:
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.cassandra]]
+  context = "/jolokia/read"
+  servers = [":8778"]
+  metrics = ["/java.lang:type=Memory/HeapMemoryUsage"]
+```
+
+The collected metrics will be:
+
+```
+javaMemory,host=myHost,mname=HeapMemoryUsage HeapMemoryUsage_committed=1040187392,HeapMemoryUsage_init=1050673152,HeapMemoryUsage_max=1040187392,HeapMemoryUsage_used=368155000 1459551767230567084
+```
+
+# Useful Metrics:
+
+Here is a list of metrics that might be useful to monitor your cassandra cluster. This was put together from multiple sources on the web.

+# Amazon CloudWatch Statistics Input
+
+This plugin will pull Metric Statistics from Amazon CloudWatch.
+
+### Amazon Authentication
+
+This plugin uses a credential chain for Authentication with the CloudWatch
+API endpoint. In the following order the plugin will attempt to authenticate.
+1. [IAMS Role](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html)
+2. [Environment Variables](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/wiki/configuring-sdk#environment-variables)
+3. [Shared Credentials](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/wiki/configuring-sdk#shared-credentials-file)
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.cloudwatch]]
+  ## Amazon Region (required)
+  region = 'us-east-1'
+
+  ## Requested CloudWatch aggregation Period (required - must be a multiple of 60s)
+  period = '1m'
+
+  ## Collection Delay (required - must account for metrics availability via CloudWatch API)
+  delay = '1m'
+
+  ## Override global run interval (optional - defaults to global interval)
+  ## Recomended: use metric 'interval' that is a multiple of 'period' to avoid 
+  ## gaps or overlap in pulled data
+  interval = '1m'
+
+  ## Metric Statistic Namespace (required)
+  namespace = 'AWS/ELB'
+
+  ## Metrics to Pull (optional)
+  ## Defaults to all Metrics in Namespace if nothing is provided
+  ## Refreshes Namespace available metrics every 1h
+  [[inputs.cloudwatch.metrics]]
+    names = ['Latency', 'RequestCount']
+	
+    ## Dimension filters for Metric (optional)
+    [[inputs.cloudwatch.metrics.dimensions]]
+      name = 'LoadBalancerName'
+      value = 'p-example'
+```
+#### Requirements and Terminology
+
+Plugin Configuration utilizes [CloudWatch concepts](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/cloudwatch_concepts.html) and access pattern to allow monitoring of any CloudWatch Metric.
+
+- `region` must be a valid AWS [Region](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/cloudwatch_concepts.html#CloudWatchRegions) value
+- `period` must be a valid CloudWatch [Period](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/cloudwatch_concepts.html#CloudWatchPeriods) value
+- `namespace` must be a valid CloudWatch [Namespace](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/cloudwatch_concepts.html#Namespace) value
+- `names` must be valid CloudWatch [Metric](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/cloudwatch_concepts.html#Metric) names
+- `dimensions` must be valid CloudWatch [Dimension](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/cloudwatch_concepts.html#Dimension) name/value pairs
+
+#### Restrictions and Limitations
+- CloudWatch metrics are not available instantly via the CloudWatch API. You should adjust your collection `delay` to account for this lag in metrics availability based on your [monitoring subscription level](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-cloudwatch-new.html)
+- CloudWatch API usage incurs cost - see [GetMetricStatistics Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/)
+
+### Measurements & Fields:
+
+Each CloudWatch Namespace monitored records a measurement with fields for each available Metric Statistic
+Namespace and Metrics are represented in [snake case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_case)
+
+- cloudwatch_{namespace}
+  - {metric}_sum         (metric Sum value)
+  - {metric}_average     (metric Average value)
+  - {metric}_minimum     (metric Minimum value)
+  - {metric}_maximum     (metric Maximum value)
+  - {metric}_sample_count (metric SampleCount value)
+
+
+### Tags:
+Each measurement is tagged with the following identifiers to uniquely identify the associated metric
+Tag Dimension names are represented in [snake case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_case)
+
+- All measurements have the following tags:
+  - region           (CloudWatch Region)
+  - unit             (CloudWatch Metric Unit)
+  - {dimension-name} (Cloudwatch Dimension value - one for each metric dimension)
+
+### Example Output:
+
+```
+$ ./telegraf -config telegraf.conf -input-filter cloudwatch -test
+> cloudwatch_aws_elb,load_balancer_name=p-example,region=us-east-1,unit=seconds latency_average=0.004810798017284538,latency_maximum=0.1100282669067383,latency_minimum=0.0006084442138671875,latency_sample_count=4029,latency_sum=19.382705211639404 1459542420000000000

+The filestat plugin gathers metrics about file existence, size, and other stats.
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```toml
+# Read stats about given file(s)
+[[inputs.filestat]]
+  ## Files to gather stats about.
+  ## These accept standard unix glob matching rules, but with the addition of
+  ## ** as a "super asterisk". See https://github.com/gobwas/glob.
+  files = ["/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf", "/var/log/**.log"]
+  ## If true, read the entire file and calculate an md5 checksum.
+  md5 = false
+```
+
+### Measurements & Fields:
+
+- filestat
+    - exists (int, 0 | 1)
+    - size_bytes (int, bytes)
+    - md5 (optional, string)
+
+### Tags:
+
+- All measurements have the following tags:
+    - file (the path the to file, as specified in the config)
+
+### Example Output:
+
+```
+$ telegraf -config /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf -input-filter filestat -test

+# Example Input Plugin
+
+This input plugin will test HTTP/HTTPS connections.
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```
+# List of UDP/TCP connections you want to check
+[[inputs.http_response]]
+  ## Server address (default http://localhost)
+  address = "http://github.com"
+  ## Set response_timeout (default 5 seconds)
+  response_timeout = 5
+  ## HTTP Request Method
+  method = "GET"
+  ## HTTP Request Headers
+  [inputs.http_response.headers]
+      Host = github.com
+  ## Whether to follow redirects from the server (defaults to false)
+  follow_redirects = true
+  ## Optional HTTP Request Body
+  body = '''
+  {'fake':'data'}
+  '''
+```
+
+### Measurements & Fields:
+
+- http_response
+    - response_time (float, seconds)
+    - http_response_code (int) #The code received
+
+### Tags:
+
+- All measurements have the following tags:
+    - server
+    - method
+
+### Example Output:
+
+```
+$ ./telegraf -config telegraf.conf -input-filter http_response -test
+http_response,method=GET,server=http://www.github.com http_response_code=200i,response_time=6.223266528 1459419354977857955

+### Configuration:
+
+```toml
+# Read InfluxDB-formatted JSON metrics from one or more HTTP endpoints
+[[inputs.influxdb]]
+  ## Works with InfluxDB debug endpoints out of the box,
+  ## but other services can use this format too.
+  ## See the influxdb plugin's README for more details.
+
+  ## Multiple URLs from which to read InfluxDB-formatted JSON
+  urls = [

+
+Get bare metal metrics using the command line utility `ipmitool`
+
+see ipmitool(https://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmitool/files/ipmitool/)
+
+The plugin will use the following command to collect remote host sensor stats:
+

+
+## Measurements
+
+- ipmi_sensor:
+
+    * Tags: `name`, `server`, `unit`
+    * Fields:

+      - value
+
+## Configuration
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.ipmi_sensor]]
+  ## specify servers via a url matching:

 #### Description

-The Jolokia plugin collects JVM metrics exposed as MBean's attributes through jolokia REST endpoint. All metrics
-are collected for each server configured.
+The Jolokia plugin collects JVM metrics exposed as MBean's attributes through
+jolokia REST endpoint. All metrics are collected for each server configured.

 See: https://jolokia.org/

 # Measurements:
-Jolokia plugin produces one measure for each metric configured, adding Server's `name`, `host` and `port` as tags.
-
-Given a configuration like:
-
-```ini
-[jolokia]
-
-[[jolokia.servers]]
-  name = "as-service-1"
-  host = "127.0.0.1"
-  port = "8080"
-
-[[jolokia.servers]]
-  name = "as-service-2"
-  host = "127.0.0.1"
-  port = "8180"
-
-[[jolokia.metrics]]
-  name = "heap_memory_usage"
-  jmx  = "/java.lang:type=Memory/HeapMemoryUsage"
-  pass = ["used", "max"]
-```
-
-The collected metrics will be:
-
-```
-jolokia_heap_memory_usage name=as-service-1,host=127.0.0.1,port=8080 used=xxx,max=yyy
-jolokia_heap_memory_usage name=as-service-2,host=127.0.0.1,port=8180 used=vvv,max=zzz
-```
+Jolokia plugin produces one measure for each metric configured,
+adding Server's `jolokia_name`, `jolokia_host` and `jolokia_port` as tags.

+# Telegraf plugin: MongoDB
+
+#### Configuration
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.mongodb]]
+  ## An array of URI to gather stats about. Specify an ip or hostname
+  ## with optional port add password. ie,
+  ##   mongodb://user:auth_key@10.10.3.30:27017,
+  ##   mongodb://10.10.3.33:18832,
+  ##   10.0.0.1:10000, etc.
+  servers = ["127.0.0.1:27017"]
+```
+
+For authenticated mongodb istances use connection mongdb connection URI
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.mongodb]]
+  servers = ["mongodb://username:password@10.XX.XX.XX:27101/mydatabase?authSource=admin"]
+```
+This connection uri may be different based on your environement and mongodb
+setup. If the user doesn't have the required privilege to execute serverStatus 
+command the you will get this error on telegraf
+
+```
+Error in input [mongodb]: not authorized on admin to execute command { serverStatus: 1, recordStats: 0 }
+```
+
+#### Description
+
+The telegraf plugin collects mongodb stats exposed by serverStatus and few more
+and create a single measurement containing values e.g.
+ * active_reads
+ * active_writes
+ * commands_per_sec
+ * deletes_per_sec
+ * flushes_per_sec
+ * getmores_per_sec
+ * inserts_per_sec
+ * net_in_bytes
+ * net_out_bytes
+ * open_connections
+ * percent_cache_dirty
+ * percent_cache_used
+ * queries_per_sec
+ * queued_reads
+ * queued_writes
+ * resident_megabytes
+ * updates_per_sec
+ * vsize_megabytes
+ * ttl_deletes_per_sec
+ * ttl_passes_per_sec
+ * repl_lag
+ * jumbo_chunks (only if mongos or mongo config)
