Metrics that are unserializable will be logged at debug level, but the rest of the batch will be sent. Unserializable metrics can occur during normal operation such as if you remove all fields from a metric or the metric cannot fit within the line size limit. |

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 from local or remote services.
Telegraf is plugin-driven and has the concept of 4 distinct plugins:
- Input Plugins collect metrics from the system, services, or 3rd party APIs
- Processor Plugins transform, decorate, and/or filter metrics
- Aggregator Plugins create aggregate metrics (e.g. mean, min, max, quantiles, etc.)
- Output Plugins write metrics to various destinations
For more information on Processor and Aggregator plugins please read this.
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
- Improve documentation
- Review code and feature proposals
- Answer questions on github and on the Community Site
- Contribute plugins
Installation:
You can download the binaries directly from the downloads page or from the releases section.
Ansible Role:
Ansible role: https://github.com/rossmcdonald/telegraf
From Source:
Telegraf requires golang version 1.8+, the Makefile requires GNU make.
Dependencies are managed with gdm, which is installed by the Makefile if you don't have it already.

How to use it:
See usage with:
./telegraf --help
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
