-Deployment and scaling
-======================
+Operations
+==========
 
-In Argo CD, sync the connector ConfigMap and the Deployment Kubernetes resources to deploy a connector.
+Deployment
+----------
 
-To scale a connector horizontally, increase the ``kafkaConsumers.<connector name>.replicaCount`` value in the ``sasquatch/values-<environment>.yaml`` file.
+To deploy a connector sync the connector ConfigMap and Deployment Kubernetes resources in Argo CD.
 
-.. note::
+List, stop and start connectors
+-------------------------------
 
-  Note that scaling the connector horizontally only works if the Kafka topic has multiple partitions.
-  The number of topic partitions must be a multiple of the number of connector replicas.
-  For example if your topic was created with 8 partitions, you can scale the connector to 1, 2, 4, or 8 replicas.
+To list the connectors in a given Sasquatch environment, run:
 
-Operations
-==========
+.. code:: bash
 
-To list the connectors deployed in a Sasquatch environment, run:
+  kubectl get deploy -l app.kubernetes.io/name=sasquatch-telegraf -n sasquatch
+
+To view the view the logs of a single connector instance, run:
 
 .. code:: bash
 
-  kubectl get deploy -l app.kubernetes.io/name=sasquatch-telegraf -n sasquatch
+  kubectl logs -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=sasquatch-telegraf-<connector-name> -n sasquatch
 
-To view the logs of a connector or multiple connector instances run:
+To stop the connectors you can scale the deployment replicas down to zero:
 
 .. code:: bash
 
-  kubectl logs -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=sasquatch-telegraf-<connector-name> --tail=5  -n sasquatch
+  kubectl scale deploy -l app.kubernetes.io/name=sasquatch-telegraf --replicas=0 -n sasquatch
 
-To stop a connector, run:
+To start the connectors you can scale the deployment replicas back to one:
 
 .. code:: bash
 
-  kubectl scale deploy/sasquatch-telegraf-<connector-name> --replicas=0 -n sasquatch
+  kubectl scale deploy -l app.kubernetes.io/name=sasquatch-telegraf --replicas=1 -n sasquatch
+
+To permanently remove a connector set the ``kafkaConsumers.<connector name>.enabled`` key to ``false`` in the ``sasquatch/values-<environment>.yaml`` file and sync the connector ConfigMap and the Deployment Kubernetes resources in Argo CD.
+
+Monitoring
+----------
 
-or set the ``kafkaConsumers.<connector name>.enabled`` key to ``false`` in the ``sasquatch/values-<environment>.yaml`` file and sync the connector ConfigMap and the Deployment Kubernetes resources in Argo CD.
+Telegraf internal metrics are recorded under the ``telegraf`` database in Sasquatch and provide information about memory and buffer usage, throughput as well as read and write errors for each connector instance.
