Hello I setup influxdb using the 2.0 UI and added a telegraf config, according to the documentation I should be able to click on the name of the config and edit it, however I do not see that option? Or I should be able to do it via the CLI, which I tried by downloading the config, editing it then r…

Believe what you see in the GUI is just an example/suggested config. Down the bottom you click download config, and the copy that over to your servers where you’re running telegraf, and away you go. I don’t think it was intended to edit the config that gets used directly by telegraf - assuming you…

@FixTestRepeat I may have misunderstood then, but I followed this documentation Update a Telegraf configuration | InfluxDB OSS 2.0 Documentation , I created a config using the UI, but now I want to edit it to enable the exec input plugin. According to the documentation there is 2 ways in which I can…

[telegraf] [image] Based on these two links, I assume what the UI did is make a config where it set up the agent and 1 output plugin and stored it at a remote URL endpoint, so I guess my next question would be is how do I now upload my changed config to that URL? I could also change the huge tel…

[image] Altus: …anyway do you perhaps know how I go about uploading my changed config file to that remote URL endpoint? I don’t know if that is even foreseen? I always do it the other way round: I have the config generated in the UI, copy it and paste the snippet into my local telegraf.conf …

Okay, I opened the telegraf.conf file and it is quite large…do I delete everything that is in there and then paste my config in there?

I can’t give you a general answer, it depends on what you want to do with Telegraf. As far as I know, the “large” default config file contains all the configurations of all native plug-ins - but most of them are not used. You need at least the following sections in the config file: [agent] for …

I am going to try deleting the default config file, then uploading my own to that folder…then I assume I need to tell telegraf where to find the new config file?

[image] Altus: then I assume I need to tell telegraf where to find the new config file? You can either refer to a local config file or to a remote one with http. See here: Configuration options | Telegraf Documentation Overview of the Telegraf configuration file, enabling plugin…
