+## v0.13 [unreleased]
+
+### 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.
+- 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.

+
+- Telegraf now keeps a fixed-length buffer of metrics per-output. This buffer
+defaults to 10,000 metrics, and is adjustable. The buffer is cleared when a
+successful write to that output occurs.
+- The docker plugin has been significantly overhauled to add more metrics
+and allow for docker-machine (incl OSX) support.
+[See the readme](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/plugins/inputs/docker/README.md)
+for the latest measurements, fields, and tags. There is also now support for
+specifying a docker endpoint to get metrics from.

+## v0.10.0 [2016-01-12]
+
+### Release Notes
+- Linux packages have been taken out of `opt`, the binary is now in `/usr/bin`
+and configuration files are in `/etc/telegraf`
+- **breaking change** `plugins` have been renamed to `inputs`. This was done because
+`plugins` is too generic, as there are now also "output plugins", and will likely
+be "aggregator plugins" and "filter plugins" in the future. Additionally,
+`inputs/` and `outputs/` directories have been placed in the root-level `plugins/`
+directory.
+- **breaking change** the `io` plugin has been renamed `diskio`
+- **breaking change** plugin measurements aggregated into a single measurement.
+- **breaking change** `jolokia` plugin: must use global tag/drop/pass parameters
+for configuration.
+- **breaking change** `twemproxy` plugin: `prefix` option removed.
+- **breaking change** `procstat` cpu measurements are now prepended with `cpu_time_`
+instead of only `cpu_`
+- **breaking change** some command-line flags have been renamed to separate words.
+`-configdirectory` -> `-config-directory`, `-filter` -> `-input-filter`,
+`-outputfilter` -> `-output-filter`
+- The prometheus plugin schema has not been changed (measurements have not been
+aggregated).
+
+### Packaging change note:
+
+RHEL/CentOS users upgrading from 0.2.x to 0.10.0 will probably have their
+configurations overwritten by the upgrade. There is a backup stored at
+/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf.$(date +%s).backup.
+
+### Features
+- Plugin measurements aggregated into a single measurement.
+- Added ability to specify per-plugin tags
+- Added ability to specify per-plugin measurement suffix and prefix.
+(`name_prefix` and `name_suffix`)
+- Added ability to override base plugin measurement name. (`name_override`)

-## Plugins
+## Adding a dependency

-This section is for developers who want to create new collection plugins.
+Assuming you can already build the project, run these in the telegraf directory:
+
+1. `go get github.com/sparrc/gdm`
+1. `gdm restore`
+1. `gdm save`
+
+## Input Plugins
+
+This section is for developers who want to create new collection inputs.
 Telegraf is entirely plugin driven. This interface allows for operators to
-pick and chose what is gathered as well as makes it easy for developers
+pick and chose what is gathered and makes it easy for developers
 to create new ways of generating metrics.

 Plugin authorship is kept as simple as possible to promote people to develop
-and submit new plugins.
+and submit new inputs.

-### Plugin Guidelines
+### Input Plugin Guidelines

-* A plugin must conform to the `plugins.Plugin` interface.
-* Each generated metric automatically has the name of the plugin that generated
-it prepended. This is to keep plugins honest.
-* Plugins should call `plugins.Add` in their `init` function to register themselves.
+* A plugin must conform to the `telegraf.Input` interface.
+* Input Plugins should call `inputs.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/influxdb/telegraf/plugins/all/all.go` file.
+* Input Plugins must be added to the
+`github.com/influxdata/telegraf/plugins/inputs/all/all.go` file.
 * The `SampleConfig` function should return valid toml that describes how the
 plugin can be configured. This is include in `telegraf -sample-config`.
 * The `Description` function should say in one line what this plugin does.

-### Plugin interface
+Let's say you've written a plugin that emits metrics about processes on the
+current host.

-```go
-type Plugin interface {
-    SampleConfig() string
-    Description() string
-    Gather(Accumulator) error
-}
-
-type Accumulator interface {
-    Add(measurement string,
-        value interface{},
-        tags map[string]string,
-        timestamp ...time.Time)
-    AddFields(measurement string,
-        fields map[string]interface{},
-        tags map[string]string,
-        timestamp ...time.Time)
-}
-```
-
-### Accumulator
-
-The way that a plugin emits metrics is by interacting with the Accumulator.
-
-The `Add` function takes 3 arguments:
-* **measurement**: A string description of the metric. For instance `bytes_read` or `faults`.
-* **value**: A value for the metric. This accepts 5 different types of value:
-  * **int**: The most common type. All int types are accepted but favor using `int64`
-  Useful for counters, etc.
-  * **float**: Favor `float64`, useful for gauges, percentages, etc.
-  * **bool**: `true` or `false`, useful to indicate the presence of a state. `light_on`, etc.
-  * **string**: Typically used to indicate a message, or some kind of freeform information.
-  * **time.Time**: Useful for indicating when a state last occurred, for instance `light_on_since`.
-* **tags**: This is a map of strings to strings to describe the where or who
-about the metric. For instance, the `net` plugin adds a tag named `"interface"`
-set to the name of the network interface, like `"eth0"`.
-
-The `AddFieldsWithTime` allows multiple values for a point to be passed. The values
-used are the same type profile as **value** above. The **timestamp** argument
-allows a point to be registered as having occurred at an arbitrary time.
-
-Let's say you've written a plugin that emits metrics about processes on the current host.
-
-```go
-
-type Process struct {
-    CPUTime float64
-    MemoryBytes int64
-    PID int
-}
-
-func Gather(acc plugins.Accumulator) error {
-    for _, process := range system.Processes() {
-        tags := map[string]string {
-            "pid": fmt.Sprintf("%d", process.Pid),
-        }
-
-        acc.Add("cpu", process.CPUTime, tags, time.Now())

-## Service Plugins
+## Input Plugins Accepting Arbitrary Data Formats
+
+Some input plugins (such as
+[exec](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/exec))
+accept arbitrary input data formats. An overview of these data formats can
+be found
+[here](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md).
+
+In order to enable this, you must specify a `SetParser(parser parsers.Parser)`
+function on the plugin object (see the exec plugin for an example), as well as
+defining `parser` as a field of the object.
+
+You can then utilize the parser internally in your plugin, parsing data as you
+see fit. Telegraf's configuration layer will take care of instantiating and
+creating the `Parser` object.
+
+You should also add the following to your SampleConfig() return:
+
+```toml
+  ## Data format to consume. 
+  ## Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
+  ## more about them here:
+  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
+  data_format = "influx"
+```
+
+Below is the `Parser` interface.
+
+```go
+// Parser is an interface defining functions that a parser plugin must satisfy.
+type Parser interface {
+    // Parse takes a byte buffer separated by newlines
+    // ie, `cpu.usage.idle 90\ncpu.usage.busy 10`
+    // and parses it into telegraf metrics
+    Parse(buf []byte) ([]telegraf.Metric, error)
+
+    // ParseLine takes a single string metric
+    // ie, "cpu.usage.idle 90"
+    // and parses it into a telegraf metric.
+    ParseLine(line string) (telegraf.Metric, error)
+}
+```
+
+And you can view the code
+[here.](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/henrypfhu-master/plugins/parsers/registry.go)

 are created in a similar manner as collection plugins, and their interface has
 similar constructs.

+### Output Plugin Guidelines

 * An output must conform to the `outputs.Output` interface.
 * Outputs should call `outputs.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/influxdb/telegraf/outputs/all/all.go` file.
+`github.com/influxdata/telegraf/plugins/outputs/all/all.go` file.
 * The `SampleConfig` function should return valid toml that describes how the
 output can be configured. This is include in `telegraf -sample-config`.
 * The `Description` function should say in one line what this output does.

+## Output Plugins Writing Arbitrary Data Formats
+
+Some output plugins (such as
+[file](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/outputs/file))
+can write arbitrary output data formats. An overview of these data formats can
+be found
+[here](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md).
+
+In order to enable this, you must specify a
+`SetSerializer(serializer serializers.Serializer)`
+function on the plugin object (see the file plugin for an example), as well as
+defining `serializer` as a field of the object.
+
+You can then utilize the serializer internally in your plugin, serializing data
+before it's written. Telegraf's configuration layer will take care of
+instantiating and creating the `Serializer` object.
+
+You should also add the following to your SampleConfig() return:
+
+```toml
+  ## Data format to output. 
+  ## Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
+  ## more about them here:
+  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md

 from well known services (like Hadoop, Postgres, or Redis) and third party
 APIs (like Mailchimp, AWS CloudWatch, or Google Analytics).

-to create a config file with only CPU and memory plugins defined, and InfluxDB
-output defined.
-* Edit the configuration to match your needs.
-* Run `telegraf -config telegraf.conf -test` to output one full measurement
-sample to STDOUT. NOTE: you may want to run as the telegraf user if you are using
-the linux packages `sudo -u telegraf telegraf -config telegraf.conf -test`
-* Run `telegraf -config telegraf.conf` to gather and send metrics to configured outputs.
-* Run `telegraf -config telegraf.conf -filter system:swap`.
-to run telegraf with only the system & swap plugins defined in the config.

-## Telegraf Options
+Usage:

-Telegraf has a few options you can configure under the `agent` section of the
-config.
+  telegraf <flags>

-* **hostname**: The hostname is passed as a tag. By default this will be
-the value returned by `hostname` on the machine running Telegraf.
-You can override that value here.
-* **interval**: How often to gather metrics. Uses a simple number +
-unit parser, e.g. "10s" for 10 seconds or "5m" for 5 minutes.
-* **debug**: Set to true to gather and send metrics to STDOUT as well as
-InfluxDB.
+The flags are:

-## Plugin Options
+  -config <file>     configuration file to load
+  -test              gather metrics once, print them to stdout, and exit
+  -sample-config     print out full sample configuration to stdout
+  -config-directory  directory containing additional *.conf files
+  -input-filter      filter the input plugins to enable, separator is :
+  -output-filter     filter the output plugins to enable, separator is :
+  -usage             print usage for a plugin, ie, 'telegraf -usage mysql'
+  -debug             print metrics as they're generated to stdout
+  -quiet             run in quiet mode
+  -version           print the version to stdout

-There are 5 configuration options that are configurable per plugin:
+Examples:

-* **pass**: An array of strings that is used to filter metrics generated by the
-current plugin. Each string in the array is tested as a glob match against metric names
-and if it matches, the metric is emitted.
-* **drop**: The inverse of pass, if a metric name matches, it is not emitted.
-* **tagpass**: tag names and arrays of strings that are used to filter metrics by the current plugin. Each string in the array is tested as a glob match against
-the tag name, and if it matches the metric is emitted.
-* **tagdrop**: The inverse of tagpass. If a tag matches, the metric is not emitted.
-This is tested on metrics that have passed the tagpass test.
-* **interval**: How often to gather this metric. Normal plugins use a single
-global interval, but if one particular plugin should be run less or more often,
-you can configure that here.
+  # generate a telegraf config file:
+  telegraf -sample-config > telegraf.conf

-### Plugin Configuration Examples
+  # generate config with only cpu input & influxdb output plugins defined
+  telegraf -sample-config -input-filter cpu -output-filter influxdb

-This is a full working config that will output CPU data to an InfluxDB instance
-at 192.168.59.103:8086, tagging measurements with dc="denver-1". It will output
-measurements at a 10s interval and will collect per-cpu data, dropping any
-measurements which begin with `cpu_time`.
+  # run a single telegraf collection, outputing metrics to stdout
+  telegraf -config telegraf.conf -test

-```toml
-[tags]
-  dc = "denver-1"
+  # run telegraf with all plugins defined in config file
+  telegraf -config telegraf.conf

-[agent]
-  interval = "10s"
-
-# OUTPUTS
-[outputs]
-[[outputs.influxdb]]
-  url = "http://192.168.59.103:8086" # required.
-  database = "telegraf" # required.
-  precision = "s"
-
-# PLUGINS
-[plugins]
-[[plugins.cpu]]
-  percpu = true
-  totalcpu = false
-  drop = ["cpu_time*"]
+  # run telegraf, enabling the cpu & memory input, and influxdb output plugins
+  telegraf -config telegraf.conf -input-filter cpu:mem -output-filter influxdb
 ```

-Below is how to configure `tagpass` and `tagdrop` parameters
+## Configuration

-```toml
-[plugins]
-[[plugins.cpu]]
-  percpu = true
-  totalcpu = false
-  drop = ["cpu_time"]
-  # Don't collect CPU data for cpu6 & cpu7
-  [plugins.cpu.tagdrop]
-    cpu = [ "cpu6", "cpu7" ]
+See the [configuration guide](docs/CONFIGURATION.md) for a rundown of the more advanced
+configuration options.

-[[plugins.disk]]
-  [plugins.disk.tagpass]
-    # tagpass conditions are OR, not AND.
-    # If the (filesystem is ext4 or xfs) OR (the path is /opt or /home)
-    # then the metric passes
-    fstype = [ "ext4", "xfs" ]
-    # Globs can also be used on the tag values
-    path = [ "/opt", "/home*" ]
-```
+## Supported Input Plugins

-Below is how to configure `pass` and `drop` parameters
+Telegraf currently has support for collecting metrics from many sources. For
+more information on each, please look at the directory of the same name in
+`plugins/inputs`.

-```toml
-# Drop all metrics for guest CPU usage
-[[plugins.cpu]]
-  drop = [ "cpu_usage_guest" ]
+Currently implemented sources:

-# Only store inode related metrics for disks
-[[plugins.disk]]
-  pass = [ "disk_inodes*" ]
-```
-
-
-Additional plugins (or outputs) of the same type can be specified,
-just define more instances in the config file:
-
-```toml
-[[plugins.cpu]]
-  percpu = false
-  totalcpu = true
-
-[[plugins.cpu]]
-  percpu = true
-  totalcpu = false
-  drop = ["cpu_time*"]
-```

 We'll be adding support for many more over the coming months. Read on if you
 want to add support for another service or third-party API.

-## Output options
+## Supported Output Plugins

-Telegraf also supports specifying multiple output sinks to send data to,
-configuring each output sink is different, but examples can be
-found by running `telegraf -sample-config`.
-
-Outputs also support the same configurable options as plugins
-(pass, drop, tagpass, tagdrop), added in 0.2.4
-
-```toml
-[[outputs.influxdb]]
-  urls = [ "http://localhost:8086" ]
-  database = "telegraf"
-  precision = "s"
-  # Drop all measurements that start with "aerospike"
-  drop = ["aerospike*"]
-
-[[outputs.influxdb]]
-  urls = [ "http://localhost:8086" ]
-  database = "telegraf-aerospike-data"
-  precision = "s"
-  # Only accept aerospike data:
-  pass = ["aerospike*"]
-
-[[outputs.influxdb]]
-  urls = [ "http://localhost:8086" ]
-  database = "telegraf-cpu0-data"
-  precision = "s"
-  # Only store measurements where the tag "cpu" matches the value "cpu0"
-  [outputs.influxdb.tagpass]
-    cpu = ["cpu0"]
-```

+const usage = `Telegraf, The plugin-driven server agent for collecting and reporting metrics.
+
+Usage:
+
+  telegraf <flags>
+
+The flags are:
+
+  -config <file>     configuration file to load
+  -test              gather metrics once, print them to stdout, and exit
+  -sample-config     print out full sample configuration to stdout
+  -config-directory  directory containing additional *.conf files
+  -input-filter      filter the input plugins to enable, separator is :
+  -input-list        print all the plugins inputs
+  -output-filter     filter the output plugins to enable, separator is :
+  -output-list       print all the available outputs
+  -usage             print usage for a plugin, ie, 'telegraf -usage mysql'
+  -debug             print metrics as they're generated to stdout
+  -quiet             run in quiet mode
+  -version           print the version to stdout
+
+In addition to the -config flag, telegraf will also load the config file from
+an environment variable or default location. Precedence is:
+  1. -config flag
+  2. $TELEGRAF_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
+  3. $HOME/.telegraf/telegraf.conf
+  4. /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
+
+Examples:
+
+  # generate a telegraf config file:
+  telegraf -sample-config > telegraf.conf
+
+  # generate config with only cpu input & influxdb output plugins defined
+  telegraf -sample-config -input-filter cpu -output-filter influxdb
+
+  # run a single telegraf collection, outputing metrics to stdout
+  telegraf -config telegraf.conf -test
+
+  # run telegraf with all plugins defined in config file
+  telegraf -config telegraf.conf

+# Telegraf Configuration
+
+## Generating a Configuration File
+
+A default Telegraf config file can be generated using the -sample-config flag:
+
+```
+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
+```
+
+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)
+
+## `[global_tags]` Configuration
+
+Global tags can be specified in the `[global_tags]` section of the config file
+in key="value" format. All metrics being gathered on this host will be tagged
+with the tags specified here.
+
+## `[agent]` Configuration
+
+Telegraf has a few options you can configure under the `agent` section of the
+config.
+
+* **interval**: Default data collection interval for all inputs
+* **round_interval**: Rounds collection interval to 'interval'
+ie, if interval="10s" then always collect on :00, :10, :20, etc.
+* **metric_batch_size**: Telegraf will send metrics to output in batch of at
+most metric_batch_size metrics.
+* **metric_buffer_limit**: Telegraf will cache metric_buffer_limit metrics
+for each output, and will flush this buffer on a successful write.
+This should be a multiple of metric_batch_size and could not be less
+than 2 times metric_batch_size.
+* **collection_jitter**: Collection jitter is used to jitter
+the collection by a random amount.
+Each plugin will sleep for a random time within jitter before collecting.
+This can be used to avoid many plugins querying things like sysfs at the
+same time, which can have a measurable effect on the system.
+* **flush_interval**: Default data flushing interval for all outputs.
+You should not set this below
+interval. Maximum flush_interval will be flush_interval + flush_jitter
+* **flush_jitter**: Jitter the flush interval by a random amount.
+This is primarily to avoid
+large write spikes for users running a large number of telegraf instances.
+ie, a jitter of 5s and flush_interval 10s means flushes will happen every 10-15s.
+* **debug**: Run telegraf in debug mode.
+* **quiet**: Run telegraf in quiet mode.
+* **hostname**: Override default hostname, if empty use os.Hostname().
+
+#### Measurement Filtering
+
+Filters can be configured per input or output, see below for examples.
+
+* **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. fieldpass is not available for outputs.
+* **fielddrop**: The inverse of pass, if a field name matches, it is not emitted.
+fielddrop is not available for outputs.
+* **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.
+* **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
+the tag keys in the final measurement.
+
+## Input Configuration
+
+Some configuration options are configurable per input:
+
+* **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.
+* **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.
+
+#### Input Configuration Examples
+
+This is a full working config that will output CPU data to an InfluxDB instance
+at 192.168.59.103:8086, tagging measurements with dc="denver-1". It will output
+measurements at a 10s interval and will collect per-cpu data, dropping any
+fields which begin with `time_`.
+
+```toml
+[global_tags]
+  dc = "denver-1"
+
+[agent]
+  interval = "10s"
+
+# OUTPUTS
+[[outputs.influxdb]]
+  url = "http://192.168.59.103:8086" # required.
+  database = "telegraf" # required.
+  precision = "s"
+
+# INPUTS
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+  percpu = true
+  totalcpu = false
+  # filter all fields beginning with 'time_'
+  fielddrop = ["time_*"]
+```
+
+#### Input Config: tagpass and tagdrop
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+  percpu = true
+  totalcpu = false
+  fielddrop = ["cpu_time"]
+  # Don't collect CPU data for cpu6 & cpu7
+  [inputs.cpu.tagdrop]
+    cpu = [ "cpu6", "cpu7" ]
+
+[[inputs.disk]]
+  [inputs.disk.tagpass]
+    # tagpass conditions are OR, not AND.
+    # If the (filesystem is ext4 or xfs) OR (the path is /opt or /home)
+    # then the metric passes
+    fstype = [ "ext4", "xfs" ]
+    # Globs can also be used on the tag values
+    path = [ "/opt", "/home*" ]
+```
+
+#### Input Config: fieldpass and fielddrop
+
+```toml
+# Drop all metrics for guest & steal CPU usage
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+  percpu = false
+  totalcpu = true
+  fielddrop = ["usage_guest", "usage_steal"]
+
+# Only store inode related metrics for disks
+[[inputs.disk]]
+  fieldpass = ["inodes*"]
+```
+
+#### Input Config: namepass and namedrop
+
+```toml
+# Drop all metrics about containers for kubelet
+[[inputs.prometheus]]
+  urls = ["http://kube-node-1:4194/metrics"]
+  namedrop = ["container_*"]
+
+# Only store rest client related metrics for kubelet
+[[inputs.prometheus]]
+  urls = ["http://kube-node-1:4194/metrics"]
+  namepass = ["rest_client_*"]
+```
+
+#### Input Config: taginclude and tagexclude
+
+```toml
+# Only include the "cpu" tag in the measurements for the cpu plugin.
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+  percpu = true
+  totalcpu = true
+  taginclude = ["cpu"]
+
+# Exclude the "fstype" tag from the measurements for the disk plugin.
+[[inputs.disk]]
+  tagexclude = ["fstype"]
+```
+
+#### Input config: prefix, suffix, and override
+
+This plugin will emit measurements with the name `cpu_total`
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+  name_suffix = "_total"
+  percpu = false
+  totalcpu = true
+```
+
+This will emit measurements with the name `foobar`
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+  name_override = "foobar"
+  percpu = false
+  totalcpu = true
+```
+
+#### Input config: tags
+
+This plugin will emit measurements with two additional tags: `tag1=foo` and
+`tag2=bar`
+
+NOTE: Order matters, the `[inputs.cpu.tags]` table must be at the _end_ of the
+plugin definition.
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+  percpu = false
+  totalcpu = true
+  [inputs.cpu.tags]
+    tag1 = "foo"
+    tag2 = "bar"
+```
+
+#### Multiple inputs of the same type
+
+Additional inputs (or outputs) of the same type can be specified,
+just define more instances in the config file. It is highly recommended that
+you utilize `name_override`, `name_prefix`, or `name_suffix` config options
+to avoid measurement collisions:
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+  percpu = false
+  totalcpu = true
+
+[[inputs.cpu]]
+  percpu = true
+  totalcpu = false
+  name_override = "percpu_usage"
+  fielddrop = ["cpu_time*"]
+```
+
+## Output Configuration
+
+Telegraf also supports specifying multiple output sinks to send data to,
+configuring each output sink is different, but examples can be
+found by running `telegraf -sample-config`.
+
+```toml
+[[outputs.influxdb]]
+  urls = [ "http://localhost:8086" ]
+  database = "telegraf"
+  precision = "s"
+  # Drop all measurements that start with "aerospike"
+  namedrop = ["aerospike*"]
+
+[[outputs.influxdb]]
+  urls = [ "http://localhost:8086" ]
+  database = "telegraf-aerospike-data"
+  precision = "s"
+  # Only accept aerospike data:
+  namepass = ["aerospike*"]
+
+[[outputs.influxdb]]
+  urls = [ "http://localhost:8086" ]
+  database = "telegraf-cpu0-data"
+  precision = "s"
+  # Only store measurements where the tag "cpu" matches the value "cpu0"
+  [outputs.influxdb.tagpass]
+    cpu = ["cpu0"]
+```

+# Telegraf Input Data Formats
+
+Telegraf is able to parse the following input data formats into metrics:
+
+1. [InfluxDB Line Protocol](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md#influx)
+1. [JSON](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md#json)
+1. [Graphite](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md#graphite)
+1. [Value](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md#value), ie: 45 or "booyah"
+1. [Nagios](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md#nagios) (exec input only)
+
+Telegraf metrics, like InfluxDB
+[points](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v0.10/write_protocols/line/),
+are a combination of four basic parts:
+
+1. Measurement Name
+1. Tags
+1. Fields
+1. Timestamp
+
+These four parts are easily defined when using InfluxDB line-protocol as a
+data format. But there are other data formats that users may want to use which
+require more advanced configuration to create usable Telegraf metrics.
+
+Plugins such as `exec` and `kafka_consumer` parse textual data. Up until now,
+these plugins were statically configured to parse just a single
+data format. `exec` mostly only supported parsing JSON, and `kafka_consumer` only
+supported data in InfluxDB line-protocol.
+
+But now we are normalizing the parsing of various data formats across all
+plugins that can support it. You will be able to identify a plugin that supports
+different data formats by the presence of a `data_format` config option, for
+example, in the exec plugin:
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.exec]]
+  ## Commands array
+  commands = ["/tmp/test.sh", "/usr/bin/mycollector --foo=bar"]
+
+  ## measurement name suffix (for separating different commands)
+  name_suffix = "_mycollector"
+
+  ## Data format to consume.
+  ## Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
+  ## more about them here:
+  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
+  data_format = "json"
+
+  ## Additional configuration options go here
+```
+
+Each data_format has an additional set of configuration options available, which
+I'll go over below.
+
+# Influx:
+
+There are no additional configuration options for InfluxDB line-protocol. The
+metrics are parsed directly into Telegraf metrics.
+
+#### Influx Configuration:
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.exec]]
+  ## Commands array
+  commands = ["/tmp/test.sh", "/usr/bin/mycollector --foo=bar"]
+
+  ## measurement name suffix (for separating different commands)
+  name_suffix = "_mycollector"
+
+  ## Data format to consume.
+  ## Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
+  ## more about them here:
+  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
+  data_format = "influx"
+```
+
+# JSON:
+
+The JSON data format flattens JSON into metric _fields_.
+NOTE: Only numerical values are converted to fields, and they are converted
+into a float. strings are ignored unless specified as a tag_key (see below).
+
+So for example, this JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+    "a": 5,
+    "b": {
+        "c": 6
+    },
+    "ignored": "I'm a string"
+}
+```
+
+Would get translated into _fields_ of a measurement:
+
+```
+myjsonmetric a=5,b_c=6
+```
+
+The _measurement_ _name_ is usually the name of the plugin,
+but can be overridden using the `name_override` config option.
+
+#### JSON Configuration:
+
+The JSON data format supports specifying "tag keys". If specified, keys
+will be searched for in the root-level of the JSON blob. If the key(s) exist,
+they will be applied as tags to the Telegraf metrics.
+
+For example, if you had this configuration:
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.exec]]
+  ## Commands array
+  commands = ["/tmp/test.sh", "/usr/bin/mycollector --foo=bar"]
+
+  ## measurement name suffix (for separating different commands)
+  name_suffix = "_mycollector"
+
+  ## Data format to consume.
+  ## Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
+  ## more about them here:
+  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
+  data_format = "json"
+
+  ## List of tag names to extract from top-level of JSON server response
+  tag_keys = [
+    "my_tag_1",
+    "my_tag_2"
+  ]
+```
+
+with this JSON output from a command:
+
+```json
+{
+    "a": 5,
+    "b": {
+        "c": 6
+    },
+    "my_tag_1": "foo"
+}
+```
+
+Your Telegraf metrics would get tagged with "my_tag_1"
+
+```
+exec_mycollector,my_tag_1=foo a=5,b_c=6
+```
+
+# Value:
+
+The "value" data format translates single values into Telegraf metrics. This
+is done by assigning a measurement name and setting a single field ("value")
+as the parsed metric.
+
+#### Value Configuration:
+
+You **must** tell Telegraf what type of metric to collect by using the
+`data_type` configuration option. Available options are:
+
+1. integer
+2. float or long
+3. string
+4. boolean
+
+**Note:** It is also recommended that you set `name_override` to a measurement
+name that makes sense for your metric, otherwise it will just be set to the
+name of the plugin.
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.exec]]
+  ## Commands array
+  commands = ["cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail"]
+
+  ## override the default metric name of "exec"
+  name_override = "entropy_available"
+
+  ## Data format to consume.
+  ## Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
+  ## more about them here:
+  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
+  data_format = "value"
+  data_type = "integer" # required
+```
+
+# 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
+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:
+
+```
+cpu.usage.idle 99
+=> cpu_usage_idle value=99
+```
+
+#### 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:
+
+```toml
+templates = [
+    "region.measurement*"
+]
+```
+
+would result in the following Graphite -> Telegraf transformation.
+
+```
+us-west.cpu.load 100
+=> cpu.load,region=us-west value=100
+```
+
+#### 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
+templates = [
+    "measurement.measurement.field.field.region"
+]
+```
+
+would result in the following Graphite -> Telegraf transformation.
+
+```
+cpu.usage.idle.percent.us-west 100
+=> cpu_usage,region=us-west idle_percent=100
+```
+
+The field key can also be derived from the second "half" of the input metric-name by specifying ```field*```:
+```toml
+templates = [
+    "measurement.measurement.region.field*"
+]
+```
+
+would result in the following Graphite -> Telegraf transformation.
+
+```
+cpu.usage.us-west.idle.percentage 100
+=> cpu_usage,region=us-west idle_percentage=100
+```
+(This cannot be used in conjunction with "measurement*"!)
+
+#### Filter Templates:
+
+Users can also filter the template(s) to use based on the name of the bucket,
+using glob matching, like so:
+
+```toml
+templates = [
+    "cpu.* measurement.measurement.region",
+    "mem.* measurement.measurement.host"
+]
+```
+
+which would result in the following transformation:
+
+```
+cpu.load.us-west 100
+=> cpu_load,region=us-west value=100
+
+mem.cached.localhost 256
+=> mem_cached,host=localhost value=256
+```
+
+#### Adding Tags:
+
+Additional tags can be added to a metric that don't exist on the received metric.
+You can add additional tags by specifying them after the pattern.
+Tags have the same format as the line protocol.
+Multiple tags are separated by commas.
+
+```toml
+templates = [
+    "measurement.measurement.field.region datacenter=1a"
+]
+```
+
+would result in the following Graphite -> Telegraf transformation.
+
+```
+cpu.usage.idle.us-west 100
+=> cpu_usage,region=us-west,datacenter=1a idle=100
+```
+
+There are many more options available,
+[More details can be found here](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/tree/master/services/graphite#templates)
+
+#### Graphite Configuration:
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.exec]]
+  ## Commands array
+  commands = ["/tmp/test.sh", "/usr/bin/mycollector --foo=bar"]
+
+  ## measurement name suffix (for separating different commands)
+  name_suffix = "_mycollector"
+
+  ## Data format to consume.
+  ## Each data format has it's own unique set of configuration options, read
+  ## more about them here:
+  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
+  data_format = "graphite"
+
+  ## This string will be used to join the matched values.
+  separator = "_"
+
+  ## Each template line requires a template pattern. It can have an optional
+  ## filter before the template and separated by spaces. It can also have optional extra
+  ## tags following the template. Multiple tags should be separated by commas and no spaces
+  ## similar to the line protocol format. There can be only one default template.
+  ## Templates support below format:
+  ## 1. filter + template
+  ## 2. filter + template + extra tag
+  ## 3. filter + template with field key
+  ## 4. default template
+  templates = [
+    "*.app env.service.resource.measurement",
+    "stats.* .host.measurement* region=us-west,agent=sensu",
+    "stats2.* .host.measurement.field",
+    "measurement*"
+  ]
+```
+
+# Nagios:
+
+There are no additional configuration options for Nagios line-protocol. The
+metrics are parsed directly into Telegraf metrics.
+
+Note: Nagios Input Data Formats is only supported in `exec` input plugin.
+
+#### Nagios Configuration:
+
+```toml
+[[inputs.exec]]
+  ## Commands array
+  commands = ["/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load", "-w 5,6,7 -c 7,8,9"]

+# Telegraf Output Data Formats
+
+Telegraf is able to serialize metrics into the following output data formats:
+
+1. [InfluxDB Line Protocol](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md#influx)
+1. [JSON](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md#json)

+  data_format = "influx"
+```
+
+# Graphite:
+
+The Graphite data format translates Telegraf metrics into _dot_ buckets. A
+template can be specified for the output of Telegraf metrics into Graphite
+buckets. The default template is:
+
+```
+template = "host.tags.measurement.field"
+```
+
+In the above template, we have four parts:
+
+1. _host_ is a tag key. This can be any tag key that is in the Telegraf
+metric(s). If the key doesn't exist, it will be ignored. If it does exist, the
+tag value will be filled in.
+1. _tags_ is a special keyword that outputs all remaining tag values, separated
+by dots and in alphabetical order (by tag key). These will be filled after all
+tag keys are filled.
+1. _measurement_ is a special keyword that outputs the measurement name.
+1. _field_ is a special keyword that outputs the field name.
+
+Which means the following influx metric -> graphite conversion would happen:
+
+```
+cpu,cpu=cpu-total,dc=us-east-1,host=tars usage_idle=98.09,usage_user=0.89 1455320660004257758

+# 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

-# Exec Plugin
-
-The exec plugin can execute arbitrary commands which output JSON. Then it flattens JSON and finds
-all numeric values, treating them as floats.
-
-For example, if you have a json-returning command called mycollector, you could
-setup the exec plugin with:
-
-```
-[[exec.commands]]
-command = "/usr/bin/mycollector --output=json"
-name = "mycollector"
-interval = 10
-```
-
-The name is used as a prefix for the measurements.
-
-The interval is used to determine how often a particular command should be run. Each
-time the exec plugin runs, it will only run a particular command if it has been at least
-`interval` seconds since the exec plugin last ran the command.
-
-
-# Sample
-
-Let's say that we have a command named "mycollector", which gives the following output:
-```json
-{
-    "a": 0.5,
-    "b": {
-        "c": "some text",
-        "d": 0.1,
-        "e": 5
-    }
-}
-```
-
-The collected metrics will be:
-```
-exec_mycollector_a value=0.5
-exec_mycollector_b_d value=0.1
-exec_mycollector_b_e value=5
-```

+# 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

+# DNS Query Input Plugin
+
+The DNS plugin gathers dns query times in miliseconds - like [Dig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dig_\(command\))
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```
+# Sample Config:
+[[inputs.dns_query]]
+  ## servers to query
+  servers = ["8.8.8.8"] # required
+
+  ## Domains or subdomains to query. "." (root) is default
+  domains = ["."] # optional
+
+  ## Query record type. Posible values: A, AAAA, ANY, CNAME, MX,  NS, PTR, SOA, SPF, SRV, TXT. Default is "NS"
+  record_type = "A" # optional
+
+  ## Dns server port. 53 is default
+  port = 53 # optional
+
+  ## Query timeout in seconds. Default is 2 seconds
+  timeout = 2 # optional
+```
+
+For querying more than one record type make:
+
+```
+[[inputs.dns_query]]
+  domains = ["mjasion.pl"]
+  servers = ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
+  record_type = "A"
+
+[[inputs.dns_query]]
+  domains = ["mjasion.pl"]
+  servers = ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
+  record_type = "MX"
+```
+
+### Tags:
+
+- server
+- domain
+- record_type
+
+### Example output:
+
+```
+./telegraf -config telegraf.conf -test -input-filter dns_query -test

+# Docker Input Plugin
+
+The docker plugin uses the docker remote API to gather metrics on running
+docker containers. You can read Docker's documentation for their remote API
+[here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/api/docker_remote_api_v1.20/#get-container-stats-based-on-resource-usage)
+
+The docker plugin uses the excellent
+[docker engine-api](https://github.com/docker/engine-api) library to
+gather stats. Documentation for the library can be found
+[here](https://godoc.org/github.com/docker/engine-api) and documentation
+for the stat structure can be found
+[here](https://godoc.org/github.com/docker/engine-api/types#Stats)
+
+### Configuration:
+
+```
+# Read metrics about docker containers
+[[inputs.docker]]
+  # Docker Endpoint
+  #   To use TCP, set endpoint = "tcp://[ip]:[port]"
+  #   To use environment variables (ie, docker-machine), set endpoint = "ENV"
+  endpoint = "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
+  # Only collect metrics for these containers, collect all if empty
+  container_names = []
+```
+
+### Measurements & Fields:
+
+Every effort was made to preserve the names based on the JSON response from the
+docker API.
+
+Note that the docker_container_cpu metric may appear multiple times per collection,
+based on the availability of per-cpu stats on your system.
