Telegraf is an agent 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.
Telegraf is plugin-driven and has the concept of 4 distinct plugin types:
- Input Plugins collect metrics from the system, services, or 3rd party APIs
- Processor Plugins transform, decorate, and/or filter metrics
- Aggregator Plugins create aggregate metrics (e.g. mean, min, max, quantiles, etc.)
- Output Plugins write metrics to various destinations
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.
There are many ways to contribute:
- Fix and report bugs
- Improve documentation
- Review code and feature proposals
- Answer questions and discuss here on github and on the Community Site
- Contribute plugins
You can download the binaries directly from the downloads page or from the releases section.
