v1.3 [unreleased]
Release Notes
- Ceph: the
ceph_pgmap_state
metric content has been modified to use a unique fieldcount
, with each state expressed as astate
tag.
Telegraf < 1.3:
# field_name value
active+clean 123
active+clean+scrubbing 3
Telegraf >= 1.3:
# field_name value tag
count 123 state=active+clean
count 3 state=active+clean+scrubbing
- The Riemann output plugin has been rewritten
and the previous riemann plugin is incompatible with the new one. The reasons
for this are outlined in issue #1878.
The previous riemann output will still be available using
outputs.riemann_legacy
if needed, but that will eventually be deprecated. It is highly recommended that all users migrate to the new riemann output plugin.
Features
- #2204: Extend http_response to support searching for a substring in response. Return 1 if found, else 0.
- #2137: Added userstats to mysql input plugin.
- #2179: Added more InnoDB metric to MySQL plugin.
- #2229:
ceph_pgmap_state
metric now uses a single fieldcount
, with PG state published asstate
tag. - #2251: InfluxDB output: use own client for improved through-put and less allocations.

v1.2.1 [2017-02-01]
Bugfixes
Features
- #2348: Go version 1.7.4 -> 1.7.5
v1.2 [2017-01-00]
Release Notes
-
The StatsD plugin will now default all "delete_" config options to "true". This will change te default behavior for users who were not specifying these parameters in their config file.
-
The StatsD plugin will also no longer save it's state on a service reload. Essentially we have reverted PR #887. The reason for this is that saving the state in a global variable is not thread-safe (see #1975 & #2102), and this creates issues if users want to define multiple instances of the statsd plugin. Saving state on reload may be considered in the future, but this would need to be implemented at a higher level and applied to all plugins, not just statsd.

v1.0 [2016-09-08]
Release Notes
Breaking Change The SNMP plugin is being deprecated in it's current form.
There is a new SNMP plugin
which fixes many of the issues and confusions
of its predecessor. For users wanting to continue to use the deprecated SNMP
plugin, you will need to change your config file from [[inputs.snmp]]
to
[[inputs.snmp_legacy]]
. The configuration of the new SNMP plugin is not
backwards-compatible.
Breaking Change: Aerospike main server node measurements have been renamed aerospike_node. Aerospike namespace measurements have been renamed to aerospike_namespace. They will also now be tagged with the node_name that they correspond to. This has been done to differentiate measurements that pertain to node vs. namespace statistics.
Breaking Change: users of github_webhooks must change to the new
[[inputs.webhooks]]
plugin.
This means that the default github_webhooks config:
# A Github Webhook Event collector
[[inputs.github_webhooks]]
## Address and port to host Webhook listener on
service_address = ":1618"
should now look like:
# A Webhooks Event collector
[[inputs.webhooks]]
## Address and port to host Webhook listener on
service_address = ":1618"
[inputs.webhooks.github]
path = "/"
-
Telegraf now supports being installed as an official windows service, which can be installed via
> C:\Program Files\Telegraf\telegraf.exe --service install
-
flush_jitter
behavior has been changed. The random jitter will now be evaluated at every flush interval, rather than once at startup. This makes it consistent with the behavior ofcollection_jitter

- Input plugin Gathers will no longer be logged by default, but a Gather for each plugin will be logged in Debug mode.
- Debug mode will no longer print every point added to the accumulator. This
functionality can be duplicated using the
file
output plugin and printing to "stdout".
Features
- #1173: varnish input plugin. Thanks @sfox-xmatters!
- #1138: nstat input plugin. Thanks @Maksadbek!
- #1139: instrumental output plugin. Thanks @jasonroelofs!
- #1172: Ceph storage stats. Thanks @robinpercy!
- #1233: Updated golint gopsutil dependency.

- #1214: Use TCP timeout argument in net_response plugin.
- #1243: Logfile not created on systemd.
v0.13 [2016-05-11]
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
anddocker_net
measurements are being renamed todocker_container_cpu
,docker_container_mem
,docker_container_blkio
anddocker_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
andtaginclude
are now available, which can be used to remove tags from measurements on inputs and outputs. See the configuration doc 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 tofielddrop = ["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
- cassandra:
-
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. -
Breaking Change: snmp plugin. The
host
tag of the snmp plugin has been changed to thesnmp_host
tag. -
The
disk
input plugin can now be configured with theHOST_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.

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 toinputs
. This was done becauseplugins
is too generic, as there are now also "output plugins", and will likely be "aggregator plugins" and "filter plugins" in the future. Additionally,inputs/
andoutputs/
directories have been placed in the root-levelplugins/
directory. - breaking change the
io
plugin has been renameddiskio
- 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 withcpu_time_
instead of onlycpu_
- breaking change some command-line flags have been renamed to separate words.

->-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

Bugfixes
v0.2.3 [2015-11-30]
Release Notes
- breaking change The
kafka
plugin has been renamed tokafka_consumer
. and most of the config option names have changed. This only affects the kafka consumer plugin (not the output). There were a number of problems with the kafka plugin that led to it only collecting data once at startup, so the kafka plugin was basically non- functional. - Plugins can now be specified as a list, and multiple plugin instances of the same type can be specified, like this:
[[inputs.cpu]]
percpu = false
totalcpu = true
[[inputs.cpu]]
percpu = true
totalcpu = false
drop = ["cpu_time"]
- Riemann output added
- Aerospike plugin: tag changed from
host
->aerospike_host
Features
- #379: Riemann output, thanks @allenj!
- #375: kafka_consumer service plugin.

- 0.2.1 has a bug where all lists within plugins get duplicated, this includes lists of servers/URLs. 0.2.2 is being released solely to fix that bug
Bugfixes
- #377: Fix for duplicate slices in inputs.
v0.2.1 [2015-11-16]
Release Notes
- Telegraf will no longer use docker-compose for "long" unit test, it has been
changed to just run docker commands in the Makefile. See
make docker-run
andmake docker-kill
.make test
will still run all unit tests with docker. - Long unit tests are now run in CircleCI, with docker & race detector
- Redis plugin tag has changed from
host
toserver
- HAProxy plugin tag has changed from
host
toserver
- UDP output now supported
- Telegraf will now compile on FreeBSD

- #351: Fix continual "CREATE DATABASE" in writes
- #360: Apply prefix before ShouldPass check. Thanks @sotfo!
v0.2.0 [2015-10-27]
Release Notes
- The -test flag will now only output 2 collections for plugins that need it
- There is a new agent configuration option:
flush_interval
. This option tells Telegraf how often to flush data to InfluxDB and other output sinks. For example, users can setinterval = "2s"
andflush_interval = "60s"
for Telegraf to collect data every 2 seconds, and flush every 60 seconds. precision
andutc
are no longer valid agent config values.precision
has moved to theinfluxdb
output config, where it will continue to default to "s"- debug and test output will now print the raw line-protocol string
- Telegraf will now, by default, round the collection interval to the nearest
even interval. This means that
interval="10s"
will collect every :00, :10, etc. To ease scale concerns, flushing will be "jittered" by a random amount so that all Telegraf instances do not flush at the same time. Both of these options can be controlled via theround_interval
andflush_jitter
config options. - Telegraf will now retry metric flushes twice
Features
- #205: Include per-db redis keyspace info
- #226: Add timestamps to points in Kafka/AMQP outputs. Thanks @ekini
- #90: Add Docker labels to tags in docker plugin
- #223: Add port tag to nginx plugin. Thanks @neezgee!

- Logging: additional logging for each collection interval, track the number of metrics collected and from how many inputs.
- #240: procstat plugin, thanks @ranjib!
- #244: netstat plugin, thanks @shirou!
- #262: zookeeper plugin, thanks @jrxFive!
- #237: statsd service plugin, thanks @sparrc

[tags]
getting applied, thanks @gotyaoi!
v0.1.9 [2015-09-22]
Release Notes
- InfluxDB output config change:
url
is nowurls
, and is a list. Config files will still be backwards compatible if onlyurl
is specified. - The -test flag will now output two metric collections
- Support for filtering telegraf outputs on the CLI -- Telegraf will now
allow filtering of output sinks on the command-line using the
-outputfilter
flag, much like how the-filter
flag works for inputs. - Support for filtering on config-file creation -- Telegraf now supports
filtering to -sample-config command. You can now run
telegraf -sample-config -filter cpu -outputfilter influxdb
to get a config file with only the cpu plugin defined, and the influxdb output defined. - Breaking Change: The CPU collection plugin has been refactored to fix some bugs and outdated dependency issues. At the same time, I also decided to fix a naming consistency issue, so cpu_percentageIdle will become cpu_usage_idle. Also, all CPU time measurements now have it indicated in their name, so cpu_idle will become cpu_time_idle. Additionally, cpu_time measurements are going to be dropped in the default config.
- Breaking Change: The memory plugin has been refactored and some measurements have been renamed for consistency. Some measurements have also been removed from being outputted. They are still being collected by gopsutil, and could easily be re-added in a "verbose" mode if there is demand for it.
Features
- #143: InfluxDB clustering support
