I am running one base config in /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf and one customized config in /etc/telegraf/telegraf.d . I want to send data to different influx servers designated to each config. The result I am seeing is data is being duplicated in both the servers. Please guide how to resolve this.

Thanks Jack. How to create multiple Daemon. Please guide.

You would need to run multiple telegraf processes: $ telegraf -config config1 > telegraf1.log 2>&1 & $ telegraf -config config2 > telegraf2.log 2>&1 & If you need systemd or init.d to keep the process alive and start on boot then you would need to copy the service file and change some naming so th…

Thanks Jack. Let me test it. Do we need to create the service like telegraf1 or telegraf2 when systemctl or service is run ?

Yes you would need to create those service files

Where is the existing service file for telegraf?

I think I got it. Please let me know if the approach is wrong. I created one service telegraf1.service and changed the file to [Service] EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/telegraf1 User=telegraf Environment='STDOUT=/var/log/telegraf/telegraf1.log’ Environment='STDERR=/var/log/telegraf/telegraf1.lo…

@errishma , @jackzampolin can you report exactly how you configure the double telegraf service? I’m on a centos server and I see all my services at /etc/init.d, telegraf included. You report instead the content of the telegraf.service file that i locate at /usr/lib/telegraf/scripts/telegraf.service.…

It is almost never need required to run multiple Telegraf’s on a single system, including in the original use case of this thread. The proper way to set this up is to use metric filtering to split the output data. Here is an example of splitting the data based on measurement name.

Thank you for the reply daniel. we’ve applicated the tagpass filtering. however imo this solution would be the best suit to address this requirement. ruggiero
