# Graphite Output Plugin

This plugin writes to [Graphite](http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html)
via raw TCP.

## Configuration:

```toml
# Configuration for Graphite server to send metrics to
[[outputs.graphite]]
  ## TCP endpoint for your graphite instance.
  ## If multiple endpoints are configured, the output will be load balanced.
  ## Only one of the endpoints will be written to with each iteration.
  servers = ["localhost:2003"]
  ## Prefix metrics name
  prefix = ""
  ## Graphite output template
  ## see https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
  template = "host.tags.measurement.field"
  ## timeout in seconds for the write connection to graphite
  timeout = 2

  ## Optional SSL Config
  # ssl_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # ssl_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use SSL but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false
```

Parameters:

    Servers  []string
    Prefix   string
    Timeout  int
    Template string

    // Path to CA file
    SSLCA string
    // Path to host cert file
    SSLCert string
    // Path to cert key file
