## Collect data
## Collect and write data
Collect and write data to InfluxDB using Telegraf, the InfluxDB v2 API, `influx`
command line interface (CLI), the InfluxDB user interface (UI), or client libraries.
Use Telegraf to collect and write data to {{< cloud-name >}}. Create Telegraf configurations automatically in the UI or manually configure Telegraf.
### Use Telegraf
Use Telegraf to quickly write data to {{< cloud-name >}}.
Create new Telegraf configurations automatically in the UI or manually update an
existing Telegraf configuration to send data to your {{< cloud-name "short" >}} instance.
For details, see [Automatically configure Telegraf](https://v2.docs.influxdata.com/v2.0/write-data/use-telegraf/auto-config/#create-a-telegraf-configuration) and [Manually configure Telegraf](https://v2.docs.influxdata.com/v2.0/write-data/use-telegraf/manual-config/).
For details, see [Automatically configure Telegraf](/v2.0/write-data/use-telegraf/auto-config/#create-a-telegraf-configuration)
and [Manually update Telegraf configurations](/v2.0/write-data/use-telegraf/manual-config/).
### API, CLI, and client libraries
For information about using the InfluxDB API, CLI, and client libraries to write data,
