Telegraf
Plugin-driven agent for collecting and reporting metrics from systems and devices.
Category: Monitoring
What it does
- Input plugins for industrial protocols, system metrics, and services.
- Collects, transforms, and ships metrics to InfluxDB, Prometheus, and more.
- Lightweight enough to run on constrained edge hardware.
When to use it
Deploy Telegraf to gather metrics from a node and its attached equipment and feed them into your historian.
Running on EmberNet
Telegraf runs as a single instance per node on the node's own network. It is a background collector with no web interface, so its card offers a shell for checking its configuration and logs.
