Telegraf version is 1.0.2. What is distribution referred here?

Is it possible to upgrade to a more recent release of Telegraf, the latest is 1.3.4. Distribution examples are Ubuntu or Centos, please include the version of the distribution and the name of the package you are installing from, i.e.: telegraf-1.3.4-1.x86_64.rpm

The rpm package installs a logrotate configuration file into /etc/logrotate.d/telegraf, you can edit this to control how many logs you keep. There is also a quiet option in the agent section of the config that may be useful for reducing the rate that logs are created.

The latest version of Telegraf has a logfile option in the agent section that you could set to /dev/null, though I don’t really recommend it as it will make it difficult to debug anything.
