# Stackdriver Output Plugin
This plugin writes to the [Google Cloud Stackdriver API](https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/v3/)
and requires [authentication](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started) with Google Cloud using either a service account or user credentials. See the [Stackdriver documentation](https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver/pricing#stackdriver_monitoring_services) for details on pricing.
Requires `project` to specify where Stackdriver metrics will be delivered to.
Metrics are grouped by the `namespace` variable and metric key - eg: `custom.googleapis.com/telegraf/system/load5`
### Configuration
```toml
[[outputs.stackdriver]]
# GCP Project
project = "erudite-bloom-151019"
# The namespace for the metric descriptor
namespace = "telegraf"
```
