The Kapacitor repository has a number of [example TICKscripts](https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor/tree/master/examples/telegraf).
These scripts use common [Telegraf plugins](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs)
as the data source and show how to build common alerts.
Telegraf plugins with example scripts include "cpu", "disk", "mem", and
"netstat" metrics from the [`system` plugin](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/system).
