Telegraf is an agent written in Go for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing metrics.

Its 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. For an example configuration referenced from local or remote services.

Telegraf is plugin-driven and has the concept of 4 distinct plugins:

  1. Input Plugins collect metrics from the system, services, or 3rd party APIs
  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

For more information on Processor and Aggregator plugins please read this.

It is a forked Telegraf repository adding a DDS input plugin (dds_consumer).

Telegraf Plugin for Connext documentation is located in the RTI Community GitHub repository.
