// +build !windows package internal const Usage = `Telegraf, The plugin-driven server agent for collecting and reporting metrics. Usage: telegraf [commands|flags] The commands & flags are: config print out full sample configuration to stdout version print the version to stdout --aggregator-filter filter the aggregators to enable, separator is : --config configuration file to load --config-directory directory containing additional *.conf files --plugin-directory directory containing *.so files, this directory will be searched recursively. Any Plugin found will be loaded and namespaced. --debug turn on debug logging --input-filter filter the inputs to enable, separator is : --input-list print available input plugins. --output-filter filter the outputs to enable, separator is : --output-list print available output plugins. --pidfile file to write our pid to --pprof-addr
pprof address to listen on, don't activate pprof if empty --processor-filter filter the processors to enable, separator is : --quiet run in quiet mode --section-filter filter config sections to output, separator is : Valid values are 'agent', 'global_tags', 'outputs', 'processors', 'aggregators' and 'inputs' --sample-config print out full sample configuration --once enable once mode: gather metrics once, write them, and exit --test enable test mode: gather metrics once and print them --test-wait wait up to this many seconds for service inputs to complete in test or once mode --usage print usage for a plugin, ie, 'telegraf --usage mysql' --version display the version and exit Examples: # generate a telegraf config file: telegraf config > telegraf.conf # generate config with only cpu input & influxdb output plugins defined telegraf --input-filter cpu --output-filter influxdb config # run a single telegraf collection, outputting metrics to stdout telegraf --config telegraf.conf --test # run telegraf with all plugins defined in config file telegraf --config telegraf.conf # run telegraf, enabling the cpu & memory input, and influxdb output plugins telegraf --config telegraf.conf --input-filter cpu:mem --output-filter influxdb # run telegraf with pprof telegraf --config telegraf.conf --pprof-addr localhost:6060 `
