Using Telegraf to send syslog metrics to Graphite

When you own and operate software, they generate various types of logs from disparate sources such as databases, servers, and applications. The metrics from these important digital assets are what companies monitor continuously. When they show you a sign of unreliability, companies need to take swift actions to fit the cause and prevent it from growing to a larger problem. The key to success in this activity is owning a good Syslog application and metrics software where you can clearly see metrics.
