Telegraf – A data collection agent
summary
Telegraf is a plugin-based agent that collects, transforms and ships metrics, logs and traces with 260 input plugins (system, network, OPC UA/Modbus, IoT, REST, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry), >50 processors/aggregators and >50 outputs (InfluxDB v2, Kafka, MQTT, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki). Demo shows spinning InfluxDB v2 and Grafana containers, generating a config, hot‑reloading extra inputs from a watched directory, and buffers and retries during outages so no metrics drop; on‑disk buffering and rate limiting are upcoming. Comes as a statically linked binary with secret‑store support.
