InfluxDB lets you automatically generate Telegraf configurations or upload custom
|
|
Telegraf configurations that collect metrics and write them to InfluxDB.
|
|
Telegraf retrieves configurations from InfluxDB on startup.
|
|
|
|
## Use InfluxDB Telegraf configurations
|
|
With a Telegraf configuration stored in InfluxDB, the `telegraf` agent can retrieve
|
|
the configuration from an InfluxDB HTTP(S) endpoint.
|
|
|
|
- Ensure Telegraf has network access to InfluxDB (OSS or Cloud).
|
|
- Start the `telegraf` agent using the `--config` flag to provide the URL of the
|
|
InfluxDB Telegraf configuration. For example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
telegraf --config http://localhost:8086/api/v2/telegrafs/<telegraf-config-id>
|
|
```
|
|

_[Setup instructions](/influxdb/version/tools/telegraf-configs/view/#view-setup-instructions) for
|
|
each Telegraf configuration are provided in the InfluxDB UI._
