- Breaking change in the dovecot input plugin. See Features section below.
- Graphite output templates are now supported. See https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md#graphite
- Possible breaking change for the librato and graphite outputs. Telegraf will
no longer insert field names when the field is simply named
value
. This is because thevalue
field is redundant in the graphite/librato context.

- More info on parsing incoming data formats can be found here
- More info on serializing outgoing data formats can be found here
- Telegraf now has an option
flush_buffer_when_full
that will flush the metric buffer whenever it fills up for each output, rather than dropping points and only flushing on a set time interval. This will default totrue
and is in the[agent]
config section.

- The docker plugin has been significantly overhauled to add more metrics and allow for docker-machine (incl OSX) support. See the readme for the latest measurements, fields, and tags. There is also now support for specifying a docker endpoint to get metrics from.

- Linux packages have been taken out of
opt
, the binary is now in/usr/bin
and configuration files are in/etc/telegraf
- breaking change
plugins
have been renamed toinputs
. This was done becauseplugins
is too generic, as there are now also "output plugins", and will likely be "aggregator plugins" and "filter plugins" in the future. Additionally,inputs/
andoutputs/
directories have been placed in the root-levelplugins/
directory. - breaking change the
io
plugin has been renameddiskio
- breaking change plugin measurements aggregated into a single measurement.
- breaking change
jolokia
plugin: must use global tag/drop/pass parameters for configuration. - breaking change
twemproxy
plugin:prefix
option removed. - breaking change
procstat
cpu measurements are now prepended withcpu_time_
instead of onlycpu_
- breaking change some command-line flags have been renamed to separate words.
-configdirectory
->-config-directory
,-filter
->-input-filter
,-outputfilter
->-output-filter
- The prometheus plugin schema has not been changed (measurements have not been aggregated).
RHEL/CentOS users upgrading from 0.2.x to 0.10.0 will probably have their configurations overwritten by the upgrade. There is a backup stored at /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf.$(date +%s).backup.
- Plugin measurements aggregated into a single measurement.
- Added ability to specify per-plugin tags
- Added ability to specify per-plugin measurement suffix and prefix.
(
name_prefix
andname_suffix
) - Added ability to override base plugin measurement name. (
name_override
)
- #427: zfs plugin: pool stats added. Thanks @allenpetersen!
- #428: Amazon Kinesis output. Thanks @jimmystewpot!
- #449: influxdb plugin, thanks @mark-rushakoff
- #430: Network statistics removed in elasticsearch 2.1. Thanks @jipperinbham!
- #452: Elasticsearch open file handles error. Thanks @jipperinbham!

- #415: memcached plugin: support unix sockets
- #418: memcached plugin additional unit tests.
- #408: MailChimp plugin.
- #382: Add system wide network protocol stats to
net
plugin. - #401: Support pass/drop/tagpass/tagdrop for outputs. Thanks @oldmantaiter!
- breaking change The
kafka
plugin has been renamed tokafka_consumer
. and most of the config option names have changed. This only affects the kafka consumer plugin (not the output). There were a number of problems with the kafka plugin that led to it only collecting data once at startup, so the kafka plugin was basically non- functional. - Plugins can now be specified as a list, and multiple plugin instances of the same type can be specified, like this:
[[inputs.cpu]]
percpu = false
totalcpu = true
[[inputs.cpu]]
percpu = true
totalcpu = false
drop = ["cpu_time"]
- Riemann output added
- Aerospike plugin: tag changed from
host
->aerospike_host
- #379: Riemann output, thanks @allenj!
- #375: kafka_consumer service plugin.
- #392: Procstat plugin can now accept pgrep -f pattern, thanks @ecarreras!
- #383: Specify plugins as a list.
- #354: Add ability to specify multiple metrics in one statsd line. Thanks @MerlinDMC!
- 0.2.1 has a bug where all lists within plugins get duplicated, this includes lists of servers/URLs. 0.2.2 is being released solely to fix that bug
- #377: Fix for duplicate slices in inputs.
- Telegraf will no longer use docker-compose for "long" unit test, it has been
changed to just run docker commands in the Makefile. See
make docker-run
andmake docker-kill
.make test
will still run all unit tests with docker. - Long unit tests are now run in CircleCI, with docker & race detector
- Redis plugin tag has changed from
host
toserver
- HAProxy plugin tag has changed from
host
toserver
- UDP output now supported
- Telegraf will now compile on FreeBSD
- Users can now specify outputs as lists, specifying multiple outputs of the same type.
- #325: NSQ output. Thanks @jrxFive!
- #318: Prometheus output. Thanks @oldmantaiter!
- #338: Restart Telegraf on package upgrade. Thanks @linsomniac!

- #331: Dont overwrite host tag in redis plugin.
- #336: Mongodb plugin should take 2 measurements.
- #351: Fix continual "CREATE DATABASE" in writes
- #360: Apply prefix before ShouldPass check. Thanks @sotfo!
- The -test flag will now only output 2 collections for plugins that need it
- There is a new agent configuration option:
flush_interval
. This option tells Telegraf how often to flush data to InfluxDB and other output sinks. For example, users can setinterval = "2s"
andflush_interval = "60s"
for Telegraf to collect data every 2 seconds, and flush every 60 seconds. precision
andutc
are no longer valid agent config values.precision
has moved to theinfluxdb
output config, where it will continue to default to "s"- debug and test output will now print the raw line-protocol string
- Telegraf will now, by default, round the collection interval to the nearest
even interval. This means that
interval="10s"
will collect every :00, :10, etc. To ease scale concerns, flushing will be "jittered" by a random amount so that all Telegraf instances do not flush at the same time. Both of these options can be controlled via theround_interval
andflush_jitter
config options. - Telegraf will now retry metric flushes twice
- #205: Include per-db redis keyspace info
- #226: Add timestamps to points in Kafka/AMQP outputs. Thanks @ekini

- #290: Fix some plugins sending their values as strings.
- #289: Fix accumulator panic on nil tags.
- #302: Fix
[tags]
getting applied, thanks @gotyaoi!
- InfluxDB output config change:
url
is nowurls
, and is a list. Config files will still be backwards compatible if onlyurl
is specified. - The -test flag will now output two metric collections
- Support for filtering telegraf outputs on the CLI -- Telegraf will now
allow filtering of output sinks on the command-line using the
-outputfilter
flag, much like how the-filter
flag works for inputs. - Support for filtering on config-file creation -- Telegraf now supports
filtering to -sample-config command. You can now run
telegraf -sample-config -filter cpu -outputfilter influxdb
to get a config file with only the cpu plugin defined, and the influxdb output defined. - Breaking Change: The CPU collection plugin has been refactored to fix some bugs and outdated dependency issues. At the same time, I also decided to fix a naming consistency issue, so cpu_percentageIdle will become cpu_usage_idle. Also, all CPU time measurements now have it indicated in their name, so cpu_idle will become cpu_time_idle. Additionally, cpu_time measurements are going to be dropped in the default config.
- Breaking Change: The memory plugin has been refactored and some measurements have been renamed for consistency. Some measurements have also been removed from being outputted. They are still being collected by gopsutil, and could easily be re-added in a "verbose" mode if there is demand for it.
