# Amon Output Plugin

This plugin writes metrics to [Amon monitoring platform](https://www.amon.cx). It requires a `serverkey` and `amoninstance` URL which can be obtained from the [website](https://www.amon.cx/docs/monitoring/) for your account.

If point values being sent cannot be converted to a `float64`, the metric is skipped.

**Introduced in:** Telegraf v0.2.1 **Deprecated in:** Telegraf v1.37.0 **Removal in:** Telegraf v1.40.0 **Tags:** datastore **OS support:** all

## Global configuration options

Plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings for tasks such as modifying metrics, tags, and fields, creating aliases, and configuring plugin ordering. See [CONFIGURATION.md](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#plugins) for more details.

## Configuration

```toml
# Configuration for Amon Server to send metrics to.
[[outputs.amon]]
  ## Amon Server Key
  server_key = "my-server-key" # required.

  ## Amon Instance URL
