# Telegraf [](https://circleci.com/gh/influxdata/telegraf) [](https://hub.docker.com/_/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 well known services (like Hadoop, Postgres, or Redis) and third party
|
|
APIs (like Mailchimp, AWS CloudWatch, or Google Analytics).
|
|
|
|
Telegraf is plugin-driven and has the concept of 4 distinct plugins:
|
|
|
|
1. [Input Plugins](#input-plugins) collect metrics from the system, services, or 3rd party APIs
|
|
2. [Processor Plugins](#processor-plugins) transform, decorate, and/or filter metrics
|
|
3. [Aggregator Plugins](#aggregator-plugins) create aggregate metrics (e.g. mean, min, max, quantiles, etc.)
|
|
4. [Output Plugins](#output-plugins) write metrics to various destinations
|
|
|
|
For more information on Processor and Aggregator plugins please [read this](./docs/AGGREGATORS_AND_PROCESSORS.md).
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
See the [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) for instructions on writing
|
|
new plugins.
|
|
|
|
## Installation:
|
|
|
|
You can either download the binaries directly from the
|
|
[downloads](https://www.influxdata.com/downloads) page.
|
|
|
|
A few alternate installs are available here as well:
|
|
|
|
### FreeBSD tarball:
|
|
|
|
Latest:
|
|
* https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-VERSION_freebsd_amd64.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
### Ansible Role:
|
|
|
|
Ansible role: https://github.com/rossmcdonald/telegraf
|
|
|
|
### From Source:
|
|
|
|
Telegraf manages dependencies via [gdm](https://github.com/sparrc/gdm),
|
|
which gets installed via the Makefile
|
|
if you don't have it already. You also must build with golang version 1.5+.
|
|
|
|
1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install)
|
|
2. [Setup your GOPATH](https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH)
|
|
3. Run `go get github.com/influxdata/telegraf`
|
|
4. Run `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/influxdata/telegraf`
|
|
5. Run `make`
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
