Ansible Role Telegraf

Fully configurable Telegraf installation and management.
By default, it will be installed using your Operating System package system but you can specify the version you want.

THE “T” IN THE TICK STACK Telegraf is an open source agent written in Go for collecting metrics and data on the system it's running on or from other services. Telegraf writes data it collects to InfluxDB in the correct format.
