About Telegraf

Telegraf is an open source agent for collecting metrics from infrastructure, applications, and devices. It uses plugins to connect data sources to destinations. It can be deployed to resource-constrained environments as a single, standalone binary. It collects real-time signals via MQTT, Modbus, and OPC-UA at the edge. It monitors Kubernetes, Docker, and Prometheus without managing external dependencies. It captures metrics from NGINX, HAProxy, and iptables with built-in buffering and backpressure.
