Looks like I took a slightly wrong approach here... I am able to get StatsD client to produce metrics by following https://influxdata.com/blog/getting-started-with-sending-statsd-metrics-to-telegraf-influxdb/.
# Statsd Server [[inputs.statsd]] However, I'm unable to use an Influx Client to push metrics to Telegraf. Seems odd that Telegraf wouldn't have an Input type Influx data (measurement, tags, fields). Might have to sick with using BatchPoints from Golang library for time being. Anything i'm missing here? On Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 5:40:33 PM UTC-7, Harlow Ward wrote: > > Hello all.
