Description-en: Plugin-driven server agent for collecting & reporting metrics
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:
.
1. Input Plugins collect metrics from the system, services, or 3rd
party API
.
2. Processor Plugins transform, decorate, and/or filter metrics
.
3. Aggregator Plugins create aggregate metrics (e.g. mean, min, max,
quantiles, etc.)
.
4. Output Plugins write metrics to various destinations
