Introduction

This chart bootstraps a telegraf deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.4+ with Beta APIs enabled

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name telegraf:

The command deploys Telegraf on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The default configuration parameters are listed in values.yaml.

$ helm install --name telegraf stable/telegraf

Outputs and inputs are configured as arrays of key/value dictionaries. Additional examples and defaults can be found in values.yaml Example:

outputs:
  - influxdb:
      urls: []
        # - "http://influxdb.monitoring:8086"
      database: "telegraf"
inputs:
  - cpu:
      percpu: false
      totalcpu: true
