What is the purpose of telegraf ? #7
Comments
Purpose of Telegraf is the scheduling of data collectors - standard and custom that you can write. I found the free tutorial by Mark Takacs to be a great way to understand the Docker world. By default, a containerized Telegraf would only see data inside the container it is running in. However, Docker allows the mapping of ports and volumes from the host to the container - this is also how data persistency is achieved. I think you are right that the way
Depending on one's particular monitoring needs, the mapping will have to be extended. |
Thank you, that makes sense. |
Feel free to close the issue |
I'm a bit new to the docker world and I'm trying to wrap my head around it:
Wouldn't this stack only colect metrics from inside the telegraf container?
Thanks!
