# Telegraf [![Circle CI](https://circleci.com/gh/influxdata/telegraf.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/influxdata/telegraf) [![Docker pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/library/telegraf.svg)](https://hub.docker.com/_/telegraf/) 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 . For an example configuration referencet from local or remote services. 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. ## Contributing There are many ways to contribute: - Fix and [report bugs](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/new) - [Improve documentation](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3Adocumentation) - [Review code and feature proposals](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pulls) - Answer questions on github and on the [Community Site](https://community.influxdata.com/) - [Contribute plugins](CONTRIBUTING.md) ## Installation: You can download the binaries directly from the [downloads](https://www.influxdata.com/downloads) page or from the [releases](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/releases) section. ### Ansible Role: Ansible role: https://github.com/rossmcdonald/telegraf ### From Source: Telegraf requires golang version 1.9 or newer, the Makefile requires GNU make. 1.

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, outputing 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 ``` ## Configuration See the [configuration guide](docs/CONFIGURATION.md) for a rundown of the more advanced configuration options. ## Input Plugins * [activemq](./plugins/inputs/activemq) *
