puppet-telegraf requires these third party puppet modules

  • puppet-stdlibs
  • wget module when the parameter download_package is set to true.
  • apt module when the parameter manage_repo is set to true on Debian or Ubuntu.

Beginning with telegraf

Include the class and set the necessary Telegraf and InfluxDB parameters.

class { '::telegraf':
    version                   => '0.13.1',
    manage_repo               => true,
    config_template           => 'telegraf/telegraf.conf.erb',
    # [[outputs.influxdb]] section of telegraf.conf
    outputs_influxdb_enabled  => true,
    outputs_influxdb_urls     => ['http://influxdb-01.mydomain.com:8086', 'http://influxdb-02.mydomain.com:8086'],
    outputs_influxdb_database => 'telegraf',
