You will need to expose the necessary dirs/files/sockets to the Telegraf container so that it can collect stats from the host machine. Here is what I was able to find:
``` docker run \ -v /sys:/rootfs/sys:ro \ -v /proc:/rootfs/proc:ro \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \ -v /var/run/utmp:/var/run/utmp:ro \ telegraf ``` Though the exact files may depend on your OS, distribution, and/or version.
