Redfish Input Plugin

This plugin gathers metrics and status information of server hardware with enabled DMTF’s Redfish support.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.15.0 Tags: server 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.

Secret-store support

This plugin supports secrets from secret-stores for the username and password options. See the secret-store documentation for more details on how to use them.

Configuration

# Read CPU, Fans, Powersupply and Voltage metrics of hardware server through redfish APIs
[[inputs.redfish]]
  ## Redfish API Base URL.
  address = "https://127.0.0.1:5000"

  ## Credentials for the Redfish API. Can also use secrets.
  username = "root"
  password = "password123456"

  ## System Id to collect data for in Redfish APIs.
  computer_system_id="System.Embedded.1"

  ## Metrics to collect
  ## The metric collects to gather. Choose from "power" and "thermal".
  # include_metrics = ["power", "thermal"]

  ## Tag sets allow you to include redfish OData link parent data
  ## For Example.
  ## Thermal data is an OData link with parent Chassis which has a link of Location.
  ## For more info see the Redfish Resource and Schema Guide at DMTFs website.
  ## Available sets are: "chassis.location" and "chassis"
  # include_tag_sets = ["chassis.location"]

  ## Workarounds
  ## Defines workarounds for certain hardware vendors. Choose from:
  ## * ilo4-thermal - Do not pass 0Data-Version header to Thermal endpoint
  # workarounds = []

  ## Amount of time allowed to complete the HTTP request
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## 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

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.

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
