+
+### Processor Plugin Guidelines
+
+* A processor must conform to the [`telegraf.Processor`](https://godoc.org/github.com/influxdata/telegraf#Processor) interface.
+* Processors should call `processors.Add` in their `init` function to register themselves.

+* The `Description` function should say in one line what this processor does.
+
+### Processor Example

+	processors.Add("printer", func() telegraf.Processor {

+	})
+}
+```
+
+## Aggregator Plugins
+
+This section is for developers who want to create a new aggregator plugin.
+
+### Aggregator Plugin Guidelines
+
+* A aggregator must conform to the [`telegraf.Aggregator`](https://godoc.org/github.com/influxdata/telegraf#Aggregator) interface.
+* Aggregators should call `aggregators.Add` in their `init` function to register themselves.
+See below for a quick example.
+* To be available within Telegraf itself, plugins must add themselves to the
+`github.com/influxdata/telegraf/plugins/aggregators/all/all.go` file.
+* The `SampleConfig` function should return valid toml that describes how the
+aggregator can be configured. This is include in `telegraf config`.
+* The `Description` function should say in one line what this aggregator does.
+* The Aggregator plugin will need to keep caches of metrics that have passed
+through it. This should be done using the builtin `HashID()` function of each
+metric.
+* When the `Reset()` function is called, all caches should be cleared.
+
+### Aggregator Example
+
+```go
+package min
+
+// min.go
+
+import (
+	"github.com/influxdata/telegraf"

 ## Unit Tests
 
+Before opening a pull request you should run the linter checks and
+the short tests.
+
+### Execute linter
+
+execute `make lint`
+
 ### Execute short tests
 
-execute `make test-short`
+execute `make test`
 
-### Execute long tests
+### Execute integration tests
 
-As Telegraf collects metrics from several third-party services it becomes a
-difficult task to mock each service as some of them have complicated protocols
-which would take some time to replicate.
+Running the integration tests requires several docker containers to be
+running.  You can start the containers with:
+```
+make docker-run
+```
 
-To overcome this situation we've decided to use docker containers to provide a
-fast and reproducible environment to test those services which require it.
-For other situations
-(i.e: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/plugins/inputs/redis/redis_test.go)
-a simple mock will suffice.
+And run the full test suite with:
+```
+make test-all
+```
 
-To execute Telegraf tests follow these simple steps:
-
-- Install docker following [these](https://docs.docker.com/installation/)
-instructions
-- execute `make test`
-
-**OSX users**: you will need to install `boot2docker` or `docker-machine`.
-The Makefile will assume that you have a `docker-machine` box called `default` to
-get the IP address.
-
-### Unit test troubleshooting
-
-Try cleaning up your test environment by executing `make docker-kill` and
-re-running
+Use `make docker-kill` to stop the containers.

-Telegraf is an agent written in Go for collecting metrics from the system it's
-running on, or from other services, and writing them into InfluxDB or other
-[outputs](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf#supported-output-plugins).
+Telegraf is an agent written in Go for collecting, processing, aggregating,
+and writing metrics.
 
 Design goals are to have a minimal memory footprint with a plugin system so
 that developers in the community can easily add support for collecting metrics
-from well known services (like Hadoop, Postgres, or Redis) and third party
-APIs (like Mailchimp, AWS CloudWatch, or Google Analytics).
+from local or remote services.
 
-New input and output plugins are designed to be easy to contribute,
+Telegraf is plugin-driven and has the concept of 4 distinct plugins:
+
+1. [Input Plugins](#input-plugins) collect metrics from the system, services, or 3rd party APIs
+2. [Processor Plugins](#processor-plugins) transform, decorate, and/or filter metrics
+3. [Aggregator Plugins](#aggregator-plugins) create aggregate metrics (e.g. mean, min, max, quantiles, etc.)
+4. [Output Plugins](#output-plugins) write metrics to various destinations
+
+For more information on Processor and Aggregator plugins please [read this](./docs/AGGREGATORS_AND_PROCESSORS.md).
+
+New plugins are designed to be easy to contribute,
 we'll eagerly accept pull
 requests and will manage the set of plugins that Telegraf supports.
-See the [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) for instructions on writing
-new plugins.
+

+
+Both Aggregators and Processors analyze metrics as they pass through Telegraf.
+
+Use [measurement filtering](CONFIGURATION.md#measurement-filtering)
+to control which metrics are passed through a processor or aggregator.  If a
+metric is filtered out the metric bypasses the plugin and is passed downstream
+to the next plugin.
+
+**Processor** plugins process metrics as they pass through and immediately emit
+results based on the values they process. For example, this could be printing
+all metrics or adding a tag to all metrics that pass through.
+
+**Aggregator** plugins, on the other hand, are a bit more complicated. Aggregators
+are typically for emitting new _aggregate_ metrics, such as a running mean,
+minimum, maximum, quantiles, or standard deviation. For this reason, all _aggregator_
+plugins are configured with a `period`. The `period` is the size of the window
+of metrics that each _aggregate_ represents. In other words, the emitted
+_aggregate_ metric will be the aggregated value of the past `period` seconds.
+Since many users will only care about their aggregates and not every single metric
+gathered, there is also a `drop_original` argument, which tells Telegraf to only
+emit the aggregates and not the original metrics.
+
+**NOTE** That since aggregators only aggregate metrics within their period, that
+historical data is not supported. In other words, if your metric timestamp is more
+than `now() - period` in the past, it will not be aggregated. If this is a feature
+that you need, please comment on this [github issue](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/1992)

 ## Generating a Configuration File
 
-A default Telegraf config file can be generated using the -sample-config flag:
-`telegraf -sample-config > telegraf.conf`
+A default Telegraf config file can be auto-generated by telegraf:
+
+```
+telegraf 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`

+## 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)
+
+When using the `.deb` or `.rpm` packages, you can define environment variables
+in the `/etc/default/telegraf` file.
+
+## Configuration file locations
+
+The location of the configuration file can be set via the `--config` command
+line flag.
+
+When the `--config-directory` command line flag is used files ending with
+`.conf` in the specified directory will also be included in the Telegraf
+configuration.
+
+On most systems, the default locations are `/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf` for

+## Input Configuration
 
-There are some configuration options that are configurable per input:
+The following config parameters are available for all inputs:
 
+* **interval**: How often to gather this metric. Normal plugins use a single
+global interval, but if one particular input should be run less or more often,
+you can configure that here.
 * **name_override**: Override the base name of the measurement.
 (Default is the name of the input).
 * **name_prefix**: Specifies a prefix to attach to the measurement name.
 * **name_suffix**: Specifies a suffix to attach to the measurement name.
 * **tags**: A map of tags to apply to a specific input's measurements.

-#### Input Filters
+The [measurement filtering](#measurement-filtering) parameters can be used to
+limit what metrics are emitted from the input plugin.
 
-There are also filters that can be configured per input:
+## Output Configuration
 
-* **namepass**: An array of strings that is used to filter metrics generated by the
-current input. Each string in the array is tested as a glob match against
-measurement names and if it matches, the field is emitted.
-* **namedrop**: The inverse of pass, if a measurement name matches, it is not emitted.
-* **fieldpass**: An array of strings that is used to filter metrics generated by the
-current input. Each string in the array is tested as a glob match against field names
-and if it matches, the field is emitted.
-* **fielddrop**: The inverse of pass, if a field name matches, it is not emitted.
-* **tagpass**: tag names and arrays of strings that are used to filter
-measurements by the current input. Each string in the array is tested as a glob
-match against the tag name, and if it matches the measurement is emitted.
-* **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.
+The [measurement filtering](#measurement-filtering) parameters can be used to
+limit what metrics are emitted from the output plugin.
+
+## Aggregator Configuration
+
+The following config parameters are available for all aggregators:
+
+* **period**: The period on which to flush & clear each aggregator. All metrics
+that are sent with timestamps outside of this period will be ignored by the
+aggregator.
+* **delay**: The delay before each aggregator is flushed. This is to control
+how long for aggregators to wait before receiving metrics from input plugins,
+in the case that aggregators are flushing and inputs are gathering on the
+same interval.
+* **drop_original**: If true, the original metric will be dropped by the
+aggregator and will not get sent to the output plugins.
+* **name_override**: Override the base name of the measurement.
+(Default is the name of the input).
+* **name_prefix**: Specifies a prefix to attach to the measurement name.
+* **name_suffix**: Specifies a suffix to attach to the measurement name.
+* **tags**: A map of tags to apply to a specific input's measurements.
+
+The [measurement filtering](#measurement-filtering) parameters be used to
+limit what metrics are handled by the aggregator.  Excluded metrics are passed
+downstream to the next aggregator.
+
+## Processor Configuration
+
+The following config parameters are available for all processors:
+
+* **order**: This is the order in which the processor(s) get executed. If this
+is not specified then processor execution order will be random.
+
+The [measurement filtering](#measurement-filtering) can parameters may be used
+to limit what metrics are handled by the processor.  Excluded metrics are
+passed downstream to the next processor.
+
+#### Measurement Filtering
+
+Filters can be configured per input, output, processor, or aggregator,
+see below for examples.
+
+* **namepass**:
+An array of glob pattern strings.  Only points whose measurement name matches
+a pattern in this list are emitted.
+* **namedrop**:
+The inverse of `namepass`.  If a match is found the point is discarded. This
+is tested on points after they have passed the `namepass` test.
+* **fieldpass**:
+An array of glob pattern strings.  Only fields whose field key matches a
+pattern in this list are emitted.  Not available for outputs.
+* **fielddrop**:
+The inverse of `fieldpass`.  Fields with a field key matching one of the
+patterns will be discarded from the point.  This is tested on points after
+they have passed the `fieldpass` test.  Not available for outputs.
+* **tagpass**:
+A table mapping tag keys to arrays of glob pattern strings.  Only points
+that contain a tag key in the table and a tag value matching one of its
+patterns is emitted.
+* **tagdrop**:
+The inverse of `tagpass`.  If a match is found the point is discarded. This
+is tested on points after they have passed the `tagpass` test.
+* **taginclude**:
+An array of glob pattern strings.  Only tags with a tag key matching one of
+the patterns are emitted.  In contrast to `tagpass`, which will pass an entire
+point based on its tag, `taginclude` removes all non matching tags from the
+point.  This filter can be used on both inputs & outputs, but it is
+_recommended_ to be used on inputs, as it is more efficient to filter out tags
+at the ingestion point.
+* **tagexclude**:
+The inverse of `taginclude`. Tags with a tag key matching one of the patterns
+will be discarded from the point.
+
+**NOTE** Due to the way TOML is parsed, `tagpass` and `tagdrop` parameters
+must be defined at the _end_ of the plugin definition, otherwise subsequent
+plugin config options will be interpreted as part of the tagpass/tagdrop
+tables.

+```
+
+# Graphite:
 
 The Graphite data format translates graphite _dot_ buckets directly into
-telegraf measurement names, with a single value field, and without any tags. For
-more advanced options, Telegraf supports specifying "templates" to translate
+telegraf measurement names, with a single value field, and without any tags.
+By default, the separator is left as ".", but this can be changed using the
+"separator" argument. For more advanced options,
+Telegraf supports specifying "templates" to translate
 graphite buckets into Telegraf metrics.
 
-#### Separator:
-
-You can specify a separator to use for the parsed metrics.
-By default, it will leave the metrics with a "." separator.
-Setting `separator = "_"` will translate:
+Templates are of the form:
 
 ```
-cpu.usage.idle 99
-=> cpu_usage_idle value=99
+"host.mytag.mytag.measurement.measurement.field*"
 ```
 
-#### Measurement/Tag Templates:
+Where the following keywords exist:
+
+1. `measurement`: specifies that this section of the graphite bucket corresponds
+to the measurement name. This can be specified multiple times.
+2. `field`: specifies that this section of the graphite bucket corresponds
+to the field name. This can be specified multiple times.
+3. `measurement*`: specifies that all remaining elements of the graphite bucket
+correspond to the measurement name.
+4. `field*`: specifies that all remaining elements of the graphite bucket
+correspond to the field name.
+
+Any part of the template that is not a keyword is treated as a tag key. This
+can also be specified multiple times.
+
+NOTE: `field*` cannot be used in conjunction with `measurement*`!
+
+#### Measurement & Tag Templates:
 
 The most basic template is to specify a single transformation to apply to all
-incoming metrics. _measurement_ is a special keyword that tells Telegraf which
-parts of the graphite bucket to combine into the measurement name. It can have a
-trailing `*` to indicate that the remainder of the metric should be used.
-Other words are considered tag keys. So the following template:
+incoming metrics. So the following template:
 
 ```toml
 templates = [
-    "region.measurement*"
+    "region.region.measurement*"
 ]
 ```
 
 would result in the following Graphite -> Telegraf transformation.
 
 ```
-us-west.cpu.load 100
-=> cpu.load,region=us-west value=100
+us.west.cpu.load 100
+=> cpu.load,region=us.west value=100
+```
+
+Multiple templates can also be specified, but these should be differentiated
+using _filters_ (see below for more details)
+
+```toml
+templates = [
+    "*.*.* region.region.measurement", # <- all 3-part measurements will match this one.
+    "*.*.*.* region.region.host.measurement", # <- all 4-part measurements will match this one.
+]
 ```
 
 #### Field Templates:
 
-There is also a _field_ keyword, which can only be specified once.
 The field keyword tells Telegraf to give the metric that field name.
 So the following template:
 
 ```toml
+separator = "_"
 templates = [
-    "measurement.measurement.field.region"
+    "measurement.measurement.field.field.region"
 ]
 ```
 
 would result in the following Graphite -> Telegraf transformation.

-=> cpu_usage,region=us-west idle=100
+cpu.usage.idle.percent.eu-east 100
+=> cpu_usage,region=eu-east idle_percent=100
+```
+
+The field key can also be derived from all remaining elements of the graphite
+bucket by specifying `field*`:
+
+```toml

+templates = [

+]
+```

+# Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### Q: How can I monitor the Docker Engine Host from within a container?
+
+You will need to setup several volume mounts as well as some environment
+variables:
+```
+docker run --name telegraf
+	-v /:/hostfs:ro
+	-v /etc:/hostfs/etc:ro
+	-v /proc:/hostfs/proc:ro
+	-v /sys:/hostfs/sys:ro
+	-v /var/run/utmp:/var/run/utmp:ro
+	-e HOST_ETC=/hostfs/etc
+	-e HOST_PROC=/hostfs/proc
+	-e HOST_SYS=/hostfs/sys
+	-e HOST_MOUNT_PREFIX=/hostfs
+	telegraf
+```
+
+
+### Q: Why do I get a "no such host" error resolving hostnames that other
+programs can resolve?
+
+Go uses a pure Go resolver by default for [name resolution](https://golang.org/pkg/net/#hdr-Name_Resolution).
+This resolver behaves differently than the C library functions but is more
+efficient when used with the Go runtime.
+
+If you encounter problems or want to use more advanced name resolution methods
+that are unsupported by the pure Go resolver, you can switch to the cgo
+resolver.
+
+If running manually set:
+```
+export GODEBUG=netdns=cgo
+```
+
+If running as a service add the environment variable to `/etc/default/telegraf`:
+```
+GODEBUG=netdns=cgo
+```
+
+### Q: When will the next version be released?
+
+The latest release date estimate can be viewed on the
+[milestones](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/milestones) page.

+# Telegraf profiling
+
+Telegraf uses the standard package `net/http/pprof`. This package serves via its HTTP server runtime profiling data in the format expected by the pprof visualization tool.
+
+By default, the profiling is turned off.
+
+To enable profiling you need to specify address to config parameter `pprof-addr`, for example:
+
+```
+telegraf --config telegraf.conf --pprof-addr localhost:6060
+```
+
+There are several paths to get different profiling information:
+
+To look at the heap profile:
+
+`go tool pprof http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/heap`
+
+or to look at a 30-second CPU profile:
+
+`go tool pprof http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/profile?seconds=30`
+
+To view all available profiles, open `http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/` in your browser.

+# Running Telegraf as a Windows Service
+
+Telegraf natively supports running as a Windows Service. Outlined below is are
+the general steps to set it up.
+
+1. Obtain the telegraf windows distribution
+2. Create the directory `C:\Program Files\Telegraf` (if you install in a different
+   location simply specify the `-config` parameter with the desired location)
+3. Place the telegraf.exe and the telegraf.conf config file into `C:\Program Files\Telegraf`
+4. To install the service into the Windows Service Manager, run the following in PowerShell as an administrator (If necessary, you can wrap any spaces in the file paths in double quotes ""):
+
+   ```
+   > C:\"Program Files"\Telegraf\telegraf.exe --service install
+   ```
+
+5. Edit the configuration file to meet your needs
+6. To check that it works, run:
+
+   ```
+   > C:\"Program Files"\Telegraf\telegraf.exe --config C:\"Program Files"\Telegraf\telegraf.conf --test
+   ```
+
+7. To start collecting data, run:
+
+   ```
+   > net start telegraf
+   ```
+
+## Other supported operations
+
+Telegraf can manage its own service through the --service flag:
+
+| Command                            | Effect                        |
+|------------------------------------|-------------------------------|
+| `telegraf.exe --service install`   | Install telegraf as a service |
+| `telegraf.exe --service uninstall` | Remove the telegraf service   |
+| `telegraf.exe --service start`     | Start the telegraf service    |
+| `telegraf.exe --service stop`      | Stop the telegraf service     |
+
+
+Troubleshooting  common error #1067
+
+When installing as service in Windows, always double check to specify full path of the config file, otherwise windows service will fail to start
+
+ --config C:\"Program Files"\Telegraf\telegraf.conf

+# BasicStats Aggregator Plugin
+
+The BasicStats aggregator plugin give us count,max,min,mean,s2(variance), stdev for a set of values,
+emitting the aggregate every `period` seconds.
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```toml
+# Keep the aggregate basicstats of each metric passing through.
+[[aggregators.basicstats]]
+  ## General Aggregator Arguments:
+  ## The period on which to flush & clear the aggregator.
+  period = "30s"
+  ## If true, the original metric will be dropped by the
+  ## aggregator and will not get sent to the output plugins.
+  drop_original = false
+```
+
+### Measurements & Fields:
+
+- measurement1
+    - field1_count
+    - field1_max
+    - field1_min
+    - field1_mean
+    - field1_s2 (variance)
+    - field1_stdev (standard deviation)
+
+### Tags:
+
+No tags are applied by this aggregator.
+
+### Example Output:
+
+```
+$ telegraf --config telegraf.conf --quiet

+distribution.  This creates a [cumulative histogram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram#/media/File:Cumulative_vs_normal_histogram.svg).
+
+Like other Telegraf aggregators, the metric is emitted every `period` seconds.
+Bucket counts however are not reset between periods and will be non-strictly
+increasing while Telegraf is running.
+
+#### Design
+
+Each metric is passed to the aggregator and this aggregator searches
+histogram buckets for those fields, which have been specified in the
+config. If buckets are found, the aggregator will increment +1 to the appropriate
+bucket otherwise it will be added to the `+Inf` bucket.  Every `period`
+seconds this data will be forwarded to the outputs.
+
+The algorithm of hit counting to buckets was implemented on the base
+of the algorithm which is implemented in the Prometheus
+[client](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/blob/master/prometheus/histogram.go).
+
+### Configuration
+
+```toml
+# Configuration for aggregate histogram metrics
+[[aggregators.histogram]]
+  ## The period in which to flush the aggregator.
+  period = "30s"
+
+  ## If true, the original metric will be dropped by the
+  ## aggregator and will not get sent to the output plugins.
+  drop_original = false
+
+  ## Example config that aggregates all fields of the metric.
+  # [[aggregators.histogram.config]]
+  #   ## The set of buckets.
+  #   buckets = [0.0, 15.6, 34.5, 49.1, 71.5, 80.5, 94.5, 100.0]
+  #   ## The name of metric.
+  #   measurement_name = "cpu"
+
+  ## Example config that aggregates only specific fields of the metric.
+  # [[aggregators.histogram.config]]
+  #   ## The set of buckets.
+  #   buckets = [0.0, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0, 60.0, 70.0, 80.0, 90.0, 100.0]
+  #   ## The name of metric.
+  #   measurement_name = "diskio"
+  #   ## The concrete fields of metric
+  #   fields = ["io_time", "read_time", "write_time"]
+```
+
+The user is responsible for defining the bounds of the histogram bucket as
+well as the measurement name and fields to aggregate.
+
+Each histogram config section must contain a `buckets` and `measurement_name`
+option.  Optionally, if `fields` is set only the fields listed will be
+aggregated.  If `fields` is not set all fields are aggregated.
+
+The `buckets` option contains a list of floats which specify the bucket
+boundaries.  Each float value defines the inclusive upper bound of the bucket.
+The `+Inf` bucket is added automatically and does not need to be defined.
+
+### Measurements & Fields:
+
+The postfix `bucket` will be added to each field key.
+
+- measurement1
+    - field1_bucket
+    - field2_bucket
+
+### Tags:
+
+All measurements are given the tag `le`. This tag has the border value of
+bucket. It means that the metric value is less than or equal to the value of
+this tag.  For example, let assume that we have the metric value 10 and the
+following buckets: [5, 10, 30, 70, 100]. Then the tag `le` will have the value
+10, because the metrics value is passed into bucket with right border value
+`10`.
+
+### Example Output:
+
+```
+cpu,cpu=cpu1,host=localhost,le=0.0 usage_idle_bucket=0i 1486998330000000000
+cpu,cpu=cpu1,host=localhost,le=10.0 usage_idle_bucket=0i 1486998330000000000

+# MinMax Aggregator Plugin
+
+The minmax aggregator plugin aggregates min & max values of each field it sees,
+emitting the aggrate every `period` seconds.
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```toml
+# Keep the aggregate min/max of each metric passing through.
+[[aggregators.minmax]]
+  ## General Aggregator Arguments:
+  ## The period on which to flush & clear the aggregator.
+  period = "30s"
+  ## If true, the original metric will be dropped by the
+  ## aggregator and will not get sent to the output plugins.
+  drop_original = false
+```
+
+### Measurements & Fields:
+
+- measurement1
+    - field1_max
+    - field1_min
+
+### Tags:
+
+No tags are applied by this aggregator.
+
+### Example Output:
+
+```
+$ telegraf --config telegraf.conf --quiet

 # Example Input Plugin
 
-The example plugin gathers metrics about example things
+The example plugin gathers metrics about example things.  This description
+explains at a high level what the plugin does and provides links to where
+additional information can be found.
 
 ### Configuration:
 
+This section contains the default TOML to configure the plugin.  You can
+generate it using `telegraf --usage <plugin-name>`.
+
 ```toml
 # Description
 [[inputs.example]]
-  # SampleConfig
+  example_option = "example_value"
 ```
 
-### Measurements & Fields:
+### Metrics:
 
-<optional description>
+Here you should add an optional description and links to where the user can
+get more information about the measurements.
+
+If the output is determined dynamically based on the input source, or there
+are more metrics than can reasonably be listed, describe how the input is
+mapped to the output.
 
 - measurement1
-    - field1 (type, unit)
-    - field2 (float, percent)
-- measurement2
-    - field3 (integer, bytes)
-
-### Tags:
-
-- All measurements have the following tags:
+  - tags:
     - tag1 (optional description)
     - tag2
-- measurement2 has the following tags:
+  - fields:
+    - field1 (type, unit)
+    - field2 (float, percent)
+
+- measurement2
+  - tags:
     - tag3
+  - fields:
+    - field3 (integer, bytes)
+
+### Sample Queries:
+
+This section should contain some useful InfluxDB queries that can be used to
+get started with the plugin or to generate dashboards.  For each query listed,
+describe at a high level what data is returned.
+
+Get the max, mean, and min for the measurement in the last hour:
+```
+SELECT max(field1), mean(field1), min(field1) FROM measurement1 WHERE tag1=bar AND time > now() - 1h GROUP BY tag
+```
 
 ### Example Output:
 
+This section shows example output in Line Protocol format.  You can often use
+`telegraf --input-filter <plugin-name> --test` or use the `file` output to get
+this information.
+
 ```

+# AMQP Consumer Input Plugin
+
+This plugin provides a consumer for use with AMQP 0-9-1, a promenent implementation of this protocol being [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/).
+
+Metrics are read from a topic exchange using the configured queue and binding_key.
+
+Message payload should be formatted in one of the [Telegraf Data Formats](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md).
+
+For an introduction to AMQP see:
+- https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/amqp-concepts.html
+- https://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html
+
+The following defaults are known to work with RabbitMQ:
+
+```toml

+[[inputs.amqp_consumer]]
+  ## AMQP url
+  url = "amqp://localhost:5672/influxdb"
+  ## AMQP exchange

+  ## AMQP queue name
+  queue = "telegraf"
+  ## Binding Key
+  binding_key = "#"
+
+  ## Controls how many messages the server will try to keep on the network
+  ## for consumers before receiving delivery acks.
+  #prefetch_count = 50
+
+  ## Auth method. PLAIN and EXTERNAL are supported.
+  ## Using EXTERNAL requires enabling the rabbitmq_auth_mechanism_ssl plugin as

+  # ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
+  ## Use SSL but skip chain & host verification
+  # insecure_skip_verify = false
+
+  ## Data format to consume.

-# Telegraf plugin: Apache
+# Apache Input Plugin
 
-#### Plugin arguments:
-- **urls** []string: List of apache-status URLs to collect from.
+The Apache plugin collects server performance information using the [`mod_status`](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_status.html) module of the [Apache HTTP Server](https://httpd.apache.org/).
 
-#### Description
+Typically, the `mod_status` module is configured to expose a page at the `/server-status?auto` location of the Apache server.  The [ExtendedStatus](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#extendedstatus) option must be enabled in order to collect all available fields.  For information about how to configure your server reference the [module documenation](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_status.html#enable).
 
-The Apache plugin collects from the /server-status?auto URL. See
-[apache.org/server-status?auto](http://www.apache.org/server-status?auto) for an
-example. And
-[here](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_status.html) for the apache
-mod_status documentation.

+# 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 3 / 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.
