Create a Telegraf configuration

    Use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) or the influx CLI to create a Telegraf configuration.

    Use the InfluxDB UI to automatically generate and store new Telegraf configurations in InfluxDB. Creating the configuration in the UI lets you select from a list of available technologies and generates a Telegraf configuration to collect metrics from those technologies. For more information, see .

    Provide the following:

    • Telegraf configuration name
    • Telegraf configuration description
    1. Create a custom Telegraf configuration file that includes the output plugin. See Manually configure Telegraf for more information.
    2. Add and customize and save your changes.
    3. Use the influx telegrafs create command to upload your custom Telegraf configuration to InfluxDB.
