We were having problems with telegraf talking to carbon-relay-ng using the graphite output. When the carbon-relay-ng server restarted the connection the telegraf side would go into CLOSE_WAIT but telegraf would continue to send statistics through the connection. Reading around it seems you need to a read from the connection and see a EOF error. We've implemented this and added a test that replicates roughly the error we were having.

Graphite Output Plugin
This plugin writes to Graphite via raw TCP.
Configuration:
# 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
Parameters:
Servers []string
Prefix string
Timeout int
Template string
servers
: List of strings, ["mygraphiteserver:2003"].prefix
: String use to prefix all sent metrics.timeout
: Connection timeout in seconds.template
: Template for graphite output format, see https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md for more details.
