Telegraf is a plugin-driven server agent for collecting & reporting metrics.

:info: InfluxDB

You will need to setup your own InfluxDB server InfluxDB server to collect telemetry.

Telegraf metrics

The metrics in the data model contain four main components:

• Measurement name: Description and namespace for the metric.
• Tags: Key/Value string pairs and usually used to identify the metric.
• Fields: Key/Value pairs that are typed and usually contain the metric data.
• Timestamp: Date and time associated with the fields.
