This new maintenance release for Telegraf is available now.

Agent

  • Zero outputs available with -test-wait flag

Build

  • Makefile now works on Windows

Input plugin updates

  • Aerospike Input
    • We fixed a statistic query bug where the aerospike plugin was emitting aerospike_node statistics as a string
  • Alibaba (Aliyun) CMS Input
    • We ensured aliyuncms metrics accepts arrays.
    • We fixed discovery capabilities in the plugin to align with aliyun updates.
  • Cisco Telemetry MDT Input
    • We aligned the default value for message size to match the grpc library.
    • We removed the overly verbose info message from the plugin.
  • Consul Agent Input
    • We updated the plugin to use the correct authentication token.
  • GNMI Input
    • We added mutex for GNMI lookup map to avoid concurrent map read/writes and fix an issue with dynamic taking with multiple CPUs.
    • The plugin now uses Sprint to cast to strings.
  • MySQL Input
    • The mariadb_dialect in the plugin now addresses MariaDB differences in INNODB_METRICS.
  • Prometheus Input
    • We moved plugin from watcher to informer to address issues where Telegraf would stop monitoring pods after 30 minutes and high CPU utilization.
  • SMART Input
    • Plugin now correctly parses various numeric forms.
