Telegraf

Collect and send metrics and events from multiple sources

Telegraf is an open-source, plugin-driven, server agent for collecting and sending metrics and events from databases, systems, and IoT sensors. Written in Go, Telegraf compiles into a single binary with no external dependencies, requiring a minimal memory footprint. Telegraf has well-defined integrations with InfluxDB for storage, Chronograf for visualizations, and Kapacitor for alerting.

How to get data flowing

This is an integration facilitated through Cribl Stream’s Metrics, HTTP/S, StatsD, or TCP JSON Source.
Configure Telegraf to output data via TCP, UDP, StatsD, HTTP or JSON. (Some of these options require a Telegraf plugin.)

  • Configure Stream to ingest Telegraf data via Sources > Metrics (for TCP, UDP, or StatsD), or via a different Source corresponding to your Telegraf output format.

  • Specify the address to bind on, port to listen on, and optional parameters.

  • Stream will start receiving Telegraf data as it becomes available.
