Telegraf config
# Telegraf Configuration
# Telegraf is entirely plugin driven. All metrics are gathered from the
# declared inputs, and sent to the declared outputs.
# Plugins must be declared in here to be active.
# To deactivate a plugin, comment out the name and any variables.
# Use 'telegraf -config telegraf.conf -test' to see what metrics a config
# file would generate.
# Global tags can be specified here in key="value" format.
[global_tags]
# dc = "us-east-1" # will tag all metrics with dc=us-east-1
# rack = "1a"
# Configuration for telegraf agent
[agent]
## Default data collection interval for all inputs
interval = "10s"
## Rounds collection interval to 'interval'
## ie, if interval="10s" then always collect on :00, :10, :20, etc.
round_interval = true
## Telegraf will cache metric_buffer_limit metrics for each output, and will
## flush this buffer on a successful write.
metric_buffer_limit = 10000
## Flush the buffer whenever full, regardless of flush_interval.
flush_buffer_when_full = true
## Collection jitter is used to jitter the collection by a random amount.
## Each plugin will sleep for a random time within jitter before collecting.
## This can be used to avoid many plugins querying things like sysfs at the
## same time, which can have a measurable effect on the system.
collection_jitter = "8s"
## Default flushing interval for all outputs. You shouldn't set this below
## interval. Maximum flush_interval will be flush_interval + flush_jitter
flush_interval = "10s"
## Jitter the flush interval by a random amount. This is primarily to avoid
## large write spikes for users running a large number of telegraf instances.
## ie, a jitter of 5s and interval 10s means flushes will happen every 10-15s
flush_jitter = "0s"
## Run telegraf in debug mode
debug = false
## Run telegraf in quiet mode
quiet = false
## Override default hostname, if empty use os.Hostname()

# Configuration for influxdb server to send metrics to

## The full HTTP or UDP endpoint URL for your InfluxDB instance.
## Multiple urls can be specified as part of the same cluster,
## this means that only ONE of the urls will be written to each interval.
# urls = ["udp://localhost:8089"] # UDP endpoint example
urls = ["http://PrivateIP:8086"] # required
## The target database for metrics (telegraf will create it if not exists)
database = "telegraf" # required
## Precision of writes, valid values are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".
## note: using "s" precision greatly improves InfluxDB compression
precision = "s"
## Connection timeout (for the connection with InfluxDB), formatted as a string.
## If not provided, will default to 0 (no timeout)
# timeout = "5s"
username = "user"
password = "password"
## Set the user agent for HTTP POSTs (can be useful for log differentiation)
user_agent = "telegraf"
## Set UDP payload size, defaults to InfluxDB UDP Client default (512 bytes)
# udp_payload = 512
## Optional SSL Config
# ssl_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
# ssl_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
# ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
## Use SSL but skip chain & host verification

## To use TCP, set endpoint = "tcp://[ip]:[port]"

## Must specify one of: pid_file, exe, or pattern
## PID file to monitor process
