Linux Operating Systems
To collect Linux OS related metrics and properties as it is in the managed Telegraf agent installation flow and to have localized object types, names, alerts, symptoms, metrics and properties, and so on, the
telegraf.conf file (in case of installed telegraf it is located in
/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf) should be customized and have the following content:
# Read metrics about cpu usage [[inputs.cpu]] ## Whether to report per-cpu stats or not percpu = true ## Whether to report total system cpu stats or not totalcpu = true ## If true, collect raw CPU time metrics collect_cpu_time = true ## If true, compute and report the sum of all non-idle CPU states report_active = true # Read metrics about memory usage [[inputs.mem]] # no configuration # Read metrics about system load & uptime [[inputs.system]] ## Uncomment to remove deprecated metrics. # fielddrop = ["uptime_format"] # Read metrics about network interface usage [[inputs.net]] ## By default, telegraf gathers stats from any up interface (excluding loopback) ## Setting interfaces will tell it to gather these explicit interfaces, ## regardless of status. ## # interfaces = ["eth0"] # Read metrics about swap memory usage [[inputs.swap]] # no configuration # Read metrics about disk usage by mount point [[inputs.disk]] ## By default stats will be gathered for all mount points. ## Set mount_points will restrict the stats to only the specified mount points. # mount_points = ["/"] ## Ignore mount points by filesystem type. # ignore_fs = ["tmpfs", "devtmpfs", "devfs", "iso9660", "overlay", "aufs", "squashfs"] # Get the number of processes and group them by status [[inputs.processes]] # no configuration # Read metrics about disk IO by device [[inputs.diskio]] ## By default, telegraf will gather stats for all devices including ## disk partitions. ## Setting devices will restrict the stats to the specified devices. # devices = ["sda", "sdb", "vd*"] ## Uncomment the following line if you need disk serial numbers. # skip_serial_number = false
Windows Operating System
To collect Windows OS related metrics and properties as it is in a managed Telegraf agent installation flow and to have localized object types, names, alerts, symptoms, metrics and properties, and so on, the telegraf.conf file should be customized and have the following content.
For Windows OS, the
telegraf.conf file default configurations were changed for Telegraf versions greater than or equal to 1.20.0 and includes Linux related input plugins, like
inputs.cpu, inputs.disk, inputs.diskio, inputs.kernel, inputs.mem, inputs.processes, inputs.swap, inputs.system, and so on. They should be commented and those related to Windows should be uncommented.
