GrayLog Input Plugin

This plugin collects data from Graylog servers, currently supporting two type of end points multiple (e.g. http://<host>:9000/api/system/metrics/multiple) and namespace (e.g. http://<host>:9000/api/system/metrics/namespace/{namespace}).

Multiple endpoint can be queried and mixing multiple and serveral namespace end points is possible. Check http://<host>:9000/api/api-browser for the full list of available endpoints.

When specifying a namespace endpoint without an actual namespace, the metrics array will be ignored.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.0.0 Tags: logging OS support: all

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Read flattened metrics from one or more GrayLog HTTP endpoints
[[inputs.graylog]]
  ## API endpoint, currently supported API:
  ##
  ##   - multiple  (e.g. http://<host>:9000/api/system/metrics/multiple)
  ##   - namespace (e.g. http://<host>:9000/api/system/metrics/namespace/{namespace})
  ##
  ## For namespace endpoint, the metrics array will be ignored for that call.
  ## Endpoint can contain namespace and multiple type calls.
  ##
  ## Please check http://[graylog-server-ip]:9000/api/api-browser for full list
  ## of endpoints
  servers = [
    "http://[graylog-server-ip]:9000/api/system/metrics/multiple",
  ]

  ## Set timeout (default 5 seconds)
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## Metrics list
  ## List of metrics can be found on Graylog webservice documentation.
  ## Or by hitting the web service api at:
  ##   http://[graylog-host]:9000/api/system/metrics
  metrics = [
    "jvm.cl.loaded",
    "jvm.memory.pools.Metaspace.committed"
  ]

  ## Username and password
  username = ""
  password = ""

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

Please refer to GrayLog metrics API browser for full metric end points: http://host:9000/api/api-browser

New in InfluxDB 3.5

Key enhancements in InfluxDB 3.5 and the InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3.

See the Blog Post

InfluxDB 3.5 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, introducing custom plugin repository support, enhanced operational visibility with queryable CLI parameters and manual node management, stronger security controls, and general performance improvements.

InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3 brings powerful new capabilities including Dashboards (beta) for saving and organizing your favorite queries, and cache querying for instant access to Last Value and Distinct Value caches—making Explorer a more comprehensive workspace for time series monitoring and analysis.

For more information, check out:

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
