# File Output Plugin
This plugin writes telegraf metrics to files
### Configuration
```toml
[[outputs.file]]
## Files to write to, "stdout" is a specially handled file.
files = ["stdout", "/tmp/metrics.out"]
## Use batch serialization format instead of line based delimiting. The
## batch format allows for the production of non line based output formats and
## may more efficiently encode and write metrics.
# use_batch_format = false
## The file will be rotated after the time interval specified. When set
## to 0 no time based rotation is performed.
# rotation_interval = "0h"
## The logfile will be rotated when it becomes larger than the specified
## size. When set to 0 no size based rotation is performed.
# rotation_max_size = "0MB"
## Maximum number of rotated archives to keep, any older logs are deleted.
## If set to -1, no archives are removed.
# rotation_max_archives = 5
## Data format to output.
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
## more about them here:
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
data_format = "influx"
