Telegraf - The plugin-driven server agent for collecting & reporting metrics.
USAGE:
Telegraf [global options] command [command options]
COMMANDS:
version print current version to stdout
config commands for generating and migrating configurations
secrets commands for listing, adding and removing secrets on all known secret-stores
plugins commands for printing available plugins
help, h Shows a list of commands or help for one command
GLOBAL OPTIONS:
--test-wait value wait up to this many seconds for service inputs to complete in test mode (default: 0)
--config-url-retry-attempts value Number of attempts to obtain a remote configuration via a URL during startup. Set to -1 for unlimited attempts. (default: 3)
--usage value print usage for a plugin, ie, 'telegraf --usage mysql'
--pprof-addr value pprof host/IP and port to listen on (e.g. 'localhost:6060')
--watch-config value monitoring config changes [notify, poll] of --config and --config-directory options. Notify supports linux, *bsd, and macOS. Poll is required for Windows and checks every 250ms.
--watch-debounce-interval value Time duration to wait after a config change before reloading (default: 0s)
--pidfile value file to write our pid to
--password value password to unlock secret-stores
--old-env-behavior switch back to pre v1.27 environment replacement behavior (default: false)
--print-plugin-config-source print the source for a given plugin (default: false)
--once run one gather and exit (default: false)
--debug turn on debug logging (default: false)
--quiet run in quiet mode (default: false)
--unprotected do not protect secrets in memory (default: false)
--test enable test mode: gather metrics, print them out, and exit. Note: Test mode only runs inputs, processors, and aggregators, but not outputs (default: false)
--select value [ --select value ] enable only plugins with labels matching the given key-value selection. If no selectors are provided, all plugins are enabled. Multiple key-value pairs in an option will be combined by AND, multiple options are combined by OR. Key and value are separated by an equal sign, multiple pairs are separated by semi-colon, values do accept wildcards.
--watch-interval value Time duration to check for updates to config files specified by --config and --config-directory options. Use with '--watch-config poll' (default: disabled)
--config-url-watch-interval value Time duration to check for updates to URL based configuration files (default: disabled)
--deprecation-list print all deprecated plugins or plugin options (default: false)
--input-list print available input plugins (default: false)
--output-list print available output plugins (default: false)
--version DEPRECATED: display the version and exit (default: false)
--sample-config DEPRECATED: print out full sample configuration (default: false)
--plugin-directory value DEPRECATED: path to directory containing external plugins
--config value [ --config value ] configuration file to load
--config-directory value [ --config-directory value ] directory containing additional *.conf files
--section-filter value filter the sections to print, separator is ':'. Valid values are 'agent', 'global_tags', 'outputs', 'processors', 'aggregators' and 'inputs'
--input-filter value filter the inputs to enable, separator is ':'
--output-filter value filter the outputs to enable, separator is ':'
--aggregator-filter value filter the aggregators to enable, separator is ':'
--processor-filter value filter the processors to enable, separator is ':'
--secretstore-filter value filter the secret-stores to enable, separator is ':'
--strict-env-handling enforces strict and secure handling of environment variables; will not work with non-string settings (default: false)
--non-strict-env-handling allow unsafe non-strict handling of environment variables to replace non-string settings (default: false)
--help, -h show help
