We are excited to announce the immediate availability of  Telegraf 0.11, which includes support for TCP and UDP input plugins. These plugins are able to parse multiple data formats (including InfluxDB line protocol and graphite) and write them to any configured output.

We are also releasing three new plugins for gathering additional system metrics:

  • NTP Query runs the ntpq command and returns NTP query metrics such as offset, delay, jitter, etc.
  • Processes gathers information on the overall processes running on the system. It counts total processes, as well as processes in states such as zombie, sleeping, running, etc. On Linux it will also gather thread information.
  • Kernel gathers generic kernel metrics available in /proc/stat, this plugin is only available on Linux.
