The Kapacitor repository includes [TICKscript examples](https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor/tree/master/examples/telegraf).
These scripts use popular [Telegraf plugins](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs)
as data sources and show how to build common alert messages.
Telegraf plugins, with example scripts, include `cpu`, `disk`, `mem`, and
`netstat` metrics from the [System (`system`) input plugin](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/system).
