Cloud proxy by default is not configured to support the use of open source Telegraf agents.

However, you can activate the use of open source Telegraf. Be aware that if you activate the use of open source Telegraf, you must deactivate client certificate validation as open source Telegraf does not support client certificates.

Note: If you perform the following steps to activate the use of open source Telegraf, you may need to take additional steps to mitigate security risk. Such steps are network isolation and the use of iptables to deny all and allow only those trusted Telegraf hosts.

Procedure

  1. Edit the /etc/httpd-south/httpd.conf file in a text editor.
  2. Uncomment the following lines:
    #uncomment the below line to allow opensource telegraf
