Seven NoSQL Databases in a Week

Telegraf data management

Telegraf gets input from input plugins, and then processes data via filter and transformation. After the process step is complete, it will start the aggregation step and run the aggregation functions to get results, and finally use the output plugin to write data into InfluxDB:

Consider the upcoming example. Let's use Telegraf to collect a matrix from a UNIX system CPU, memory, and swap usage and load it onto InfluxDB. Here are the detailed steps:

create database telegraf

2. Install Telegraf:

$ wget http://get.InfluxDB.org/telegraf/telegraf_0.10.2-1_amd64.deb$ sudo dpkg -i telegraf_0.10.2-1_amd64.deb ...
