Instrumental Output Plugin
This plugin writes to the Instrumental Collector API and requires a Project-specific API token.
Instrumental accepts stats in a format very close to Graphite, with the only difference being that
the type of stat (gauge, increment) is the first token, separated from the metric itself
by whitespace. The increment type is only used if the metric comes in as a counter through [[input.statsd]].
Configuration:
[[outputs.instrumental]]
## Project API Token (required)
api_token = "API Token" # required
## Prefix the metrics with a given name
prefix = ""
## Stats output template (Graphite formatting)
## see https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md#graphite
template = "host.tags.measurement.field"
## Timeout in seconds to connect
timeout = "2s"
## Debug true - Print communcation to Instrumental
debug = false
