+
+## v1.0 [2016-09-08]
+
+### Release Notes
+
+**Breaking Change** The SNMP plugin is being deprecated in it's current form.
+There is a [new SNMP plugin](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/snmp)
+which fixes many of the issues and confusions
+of its predecessor. For users wanting to continue to use the deprecated SNMP
+plugin, you will need to change your config file from `[[inputs.snmp]]` to
+`[[inputs.snmp_legacy]]`. The configuration of the new SNMP plugin is _not_
+backwards-compatible.
+
+**Breaking Change**: Aerospike main server node measurements have been renamed
+aerospike_node. Aerospike namespace measurements have been renamed to
+aerospike_namespace. They will also now be tagged with the node_name
+that they correspond to. This has been done to differentiate measurements
+that pertain to node vs. namespace statistics.
+
+**Breaking Change**: users of github_webhooks must change to the new
+`[[inputs.webhooks]]` plugin.
+
+This means that the default github_webhooks config:
+
+```
+# A Github Webhook Event collector
+[[inputs.github_webhooks]]
+  ## Address and port to host Webhook listener on
+  service_address = ":1618"
+```
+
+should now look like:
+
+```
+# A Webhooks Event collector
+[[inputs.webhooks]]
+  ## Address and port to host Webhook listener on
+  service_address = ":1618"
+
+  [inputs.webhooks.github]
+    path = "/"
+```
+
+- Telegraf now supports being installed as an official windows service,
+which can be installed via
+`> C:\Program Files\Telegraf\telegraf.exe --service install`
+
 - `flush_jitter` behavior has been changed. The random jitter will now be
 evaluated at every flush interval, rather than once at startup. This makes it
 consistent with the behavior of `collection_jitter`.

- All AWS plugins now utilize a standard mechanism for evaluating credentials.
-This allows all AWS plugins to support environment variables, shared credential
-files & profiles, and role assumptions. See the specific plugin README for
-details.
-
- The AWS CloudWatch input plugin can now declare a wildcard value for a metric
-dimension. This causes the plugin to read all metrics that contain the specified
-dimension key regardless of value. This is used to export collections of metrics
-without having to know the dimension values ahead of time.
-
- The AWS CloudWatch input plugin can now be configured with the `cache_ttl`
-attribute. This configures the TTL of the internal metric cache. This is useful
-in conjunction with wildcard dimension values as it will control the amount of
-time before a new metric is included by the plugin.
-

 # 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.
+Telegraf natively supports running as a Windows Service. Outlined below is are
+the general steps to set it up.

-**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.
+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 ""):

-## NSSM Installation via Chocolatey
+   ```
+   > C:\"Program Files"\Telegraf\telegraf.exe --service install
+   ```

-You can install [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) and [NSSM](http://nssm.cc/) 
-with these commands
+5. Edit the configuration file to meet your needs
+6. To check that it works, run:

-```powershell
-iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
-choco install -y nssm
-```
+   ```
+   > C:\"Program Files"\Telegraf\telegraf.exe --config C:\"Program Files"\Telegraf\telegraf.conf --test
+   ```

-## Installing Telegraf as a Windows Service with NSSM
+7. To start collecting data, run:

-You can download the latest Telegraf Windows binaries (still Experimental at 
-the moment) from [the Telegraf Github repo](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf).
+   ```
+   > net start 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**.
+## Other supported operations

-Once you have NSSM installed in your system, the process is quite straightforward.
-You only need to type this command in your Windows shell
+Telegraf can manage its own service through the --service flag:

-```powershell
-nssm install Telegraf c:\telegraf\telegraf.exe -config c:\telegraf\telegraf.config
-```
+| 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     |

-And now your service will be installed in Windows and you will be able to start and
-stop it gracefully

+
+* New line separated values
+
+```
+VAL0\n

+### Tags:
+
+Measurements don't have any specific tags unless you define them at the telegraf level (defaults). We
+used to have the path listed as a tag, but to keep cardinality in check it's easier to move this

+# HTTP listener service input plugin
+
+The HTTP listener is a service input plugin that listens for messages sent via HTTP POST.
+The plugin expects messages in the InfluxDB line-protocol ONLY, other Telegraf input data formats are not supported.
+The intent of the plugin is to allow Telegraf to serve as a proxy/router for the /write endpoint of the InfluxDB HTTP API.
+When chaining Telegraf instances using this plugin, CREATE DATABASE requests receive a 200 OK response with message body `{"results":[]}` but they are not relayed. The output configuration of the Telegraf instance which ultimately submits data to InfluxDB determines the destination database.
+
+See: [Telegraf Input Data Formats](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md#influx).
+Example:  curl -i -XPOST 'http://localhost:8186/write' --data-binary 'cpu_load_short,host=server01,region=us-west value=0.64 1434055562000000000'
+
+### Configuration:
+
+This is a sample configuration for the plugin.
+
+```toml
+# # Influx HTTP write listener
+[[inputs.http_listener]]
+  ## Address and port to host HTTP listener on
+  service_address = ":8186"
+
+  ## timeouts
+  read_timeout = "10s"
+  write_timeout = "10s"
