Hello @Alpheus,
Thanks for your question.
You can either run it in containers or install the binary.

So do I have to install InfluxDB and Telegraf on every server to collect telemetry data
and visualize it on my machine ?

You should have a telegraf agent running anywhere you want to collect data from, then you can send that data to one InfluxDB instance if you want.
