Updated windows dependencies
Updated the windows dependencies so that the versions matched the
dependencies for Mac OS and Linux. Additionally added some that were
complained about being missing at compile time.
Incorporated kardianos/service for management
Incorporated the library github.com/kardianos/service to manage the
service on the various platforms (including Windows). This required an
alternate main function.
The original main function was renamed to reloadLoop (as that is what
the main loop in it does) (it also got a couple of parameters). The
service management library calls it as the main body of the program.
Merged service.go into telegraf.go
Due to compilation issues on Windows, moved the code from service.go
into telegraf.go and removed service.go entirely.
Updated dependencies and fixed Windows service
Updated the dependencies so that it builds properly on Windows,
additionally, fixed the registered command for starting it as
a service (needed to add the config file option). This currently
standardizes it as a C:\telegraf\telegraf.conf on Windows.
Added dependency for github.com/kardianos/service
Removed the common dependencies from _windows file
Removed all the common dependencies from the Godeps_windows file and
modified Makefile to load Godeps and then Godeps_windows when building
for Windows. This should reduce problems caused by the Godeps_windows
file being forgotten when updating dependencies.
Updated CHANGELOG.md with changes
Ran `go fmt ./...` to format code
Removed service library on all but Windows
The service library [kardianos/service](github.com/kardianos/service)
has been disabled on all platforms but windows, as there is already
existing infrastructure for other platforms.
Removed the dependency line for itself
It appears that gdm accidentally added the project itself to the
dependency list. This caused the dependency restoration to select an
earlier version of the project during build.
This only affected windows.
This only affected builds after

Telegraf 
Telegraf is an agent written in Go for collecting metrics from the system it's running on, or from other services, and writing them into InfluxDB or other outputs.
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 well known services (like Hadoop, Postgres, or Redis) and third party APIs (like Mailchimp, AWS CloudWatch, or Google Analytics).
New input and output plugins are designed to be easy to contribute, we'll eagerly accept pull requests and will manage the set of plugins that Telegraf supports. See the contributing guide for instructions on writing new plugins.
Installation:
Linux deb and rpm Packages:
Latest:
- https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf_1.0.0-beta3_amd64.deb
- https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.0.0_beta3.x86_64.rpm
Latest (arm):
- https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf_1.0.0-beta3_armhf.deb
- https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.0.0_beta3.armhf.rpm
Package Instructions:
- Telegraf binary is installed in
/usr/bin/telegraf - Telegraf daemon configuration file is in
/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf - On sysv systems, the telegraf daemon can be controlled via
service telegraf [action] - On systemd systems (such as Ubuntu 15+), the telegraf daemon can be
controlled via
systemctl [action] telegraf
yum/apt Repositories:
There is a yum/apt repo available for the whole InfluxData stack, see here for instructions on setting up the repo. Once it is configured, you will be able to use this repo to install & update telegraf.

OSX via Homebrew:
brew update
brew install telegraf
Windows Binaries (EXPERIMENTAL)
Latest:
From Source:
Telegraf manages dependencies via gdm, which gets installed via the Makefile if you don't have it already. You also must build with golang version 1.5+.
- Install Go
- Setup your GOPATH
- Run
go get github.com/influxdata/telegraf - Run
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/influxdata/telegraf - Run
make
How to use it:
$ telegraf -help
Telegraf, The plugin-driven server agent for collecting and reporting metrics.
Usage:
telegraf <flags>
The flags are:
-config <file> configuration file to load
-test gather metrics once, print them to stdout, and exit
-sample-config print out full sample configuration to stdout
-config-directory directory containing additional *.conf files
-input-filter filter the input plugins to enable, separator is :
-output-filter filter the output plugins to enable, separator is :
-usage print usage for a plugin, ie, 'telegraf -usage mysql'
-debug print metrics as they're generated to stdout
-quiet run in quiet mode
-version print the version to stdout
Examples:
# generate a telegraf config file:
telegraf -sample-config > telegraf.conf
# generate config with only cpu input & influxdb output plugins defined
telegraf -sample-config -input-filter cpu -output-filter influxdb
# 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
Configuration
See the configuration guide for a rundown of the more advanced configuration options.
