# Instrumental Output Plugin
|
|
|
|
This plugin writes metrics to the [Instrumental Collector API](https://instrumentalapp.com/docs/tcp-collector)
|
|
and requires a project-specific API token.
|
|
|
|
Instrumental accepts stats in a format very close to Graphite, with the only
|
|
difference being that the type of stat (gauge, increment) is the first token,
|
|
separated from the metric itself by whitespace. The `increment` type is only
|
|
used if the metric comes in as a counter via the [statsd input plugin](/telegraf/v1/plugins/#input-statsd).
|
|
|
|
**Introduced in:** Telegraf v0.13.1
|
|
**Tags:** applications
|
|
**OS support:** all

|
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
|
|
|
|
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
|
|
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
|
|
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
|
|
See the [CONFIGURATION.md](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#plugins) for more details.
|
|
|
|
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
|
|
|
|
## Secret-store support
|
|
|
|
This plugin supports secrets from secret-stores for the `api_token` option.
|
|
See the [secret-store documentation](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#secret-store-secrets) for more details on how
|
|
to use them.

|
|
