Telegraf Plugin Documentation - Edit in Source Repository

The Telegraf plugin documentation in subdirectories (input-plugins/, output-plugins/, aggregator-plugins/, processor-plugins/) is generated from plugin READMEs in the influxdata/telegraf repository.

Workflow

  1. Source of truth: Plugin READMEs in telegraf/plugins/<type>/<plugin>/README.md
  2. Automated sync: The telegraf-internal repository generates documentation PRs from plugin READMEs
  3. Release process: Telegraf releases automatically trigger documentation updates

To Make Changes

  1. Edit the source README in the telegraf repository: plugins/<type>/<plugin>/README.md
  2. Submit a PR to influxdata/telegraf
  3. After merge, the sync process will create a PR to docs-v2
