Telegraf is an agent for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing metrics, logs, and other arbitrary data.
Telegraf offers a comprehensive suite of over 300 plugins, covering a wide range of functionalities including system monitoring, cloud services, and message passing. It enables the integration of user-defined code to collect, transform, and transmit data efficiently. Compiling into a standalone static binary without any external dependencies ensures a streamlined deployment process. Users define a TOML configuration with the plugins and settings they wish to use, allowing for flexible data collection and output management.

Make data-driven decisions faster
AI agents combine large language models with tools, memory, and decision-making logic to autonomously complete multi-step tasks without constant human guidance.
Large language model for reasoning and decision-making
Understand tasks, plan steps, generate responses
APIs, databases, external services the agent can call
Take actions beyond text generation (search, compute, write files)
Short-term (conversation) and long-term (persistent) memory
Maintain context across interactions and learn from past actions
Decision engine for choosing next action
Plan multi-step workflows and handle errors/edge cases
