About:
Telegraf is an agent for collecting metrics and events from various sources. It processes and writes data to various outputs, including InfluxDB. Its plugin-driven architecture allows for easy extension to monitor systems, services, and APIs.
|
Key Features:
- Plugin-driven architecture for inputs, processors, and outputs
- Lightweight resource footprint with minimal dependencies
- Supports a wide range of input sources (e.g., Docker, Kafka, Prometheus)
- Built-in data transformation and aggregation capabilities
|
Use Cases:
- Collecting system metrics (CPU, memory, disk) for infrastructure monitoring
- Aggregating application and service logs for centralized analysis
- Relaying metrics from message queues like Kafka to time-series databases
|
Alternatives:
-
Prometheus
– Prometheus is primarily a pull-based monitoring system with its own database, whereas Telegraf is a push-based agent designed to send data to external backends.
-
Datadog Agent
– Datadog Agent is a proprietary, vendor-specific agent, while Telegraf is open-source and vendor-neutral.
