Getting Started with Telegraf Controller

Telegraf Controller is a centralized application designed for managing Telegraf deployments at scale by defining configurations in one location and consistently applying them across a fleet of agents. In this video, Product Manager Scott Anderson walks you through the steps of setting up and managing agents using the controller, covering.

Telegraf Controller and Agent Observability

Telegraf Controller makes it easier to manage and monitor your Telegraf agents in one place. In this overview, Product Manager Scott Anderson explains how it works. Agents pull their configurations directly from the controller and report their status back using a heartbeat plugin. This gives you a clear, real-time view of your deployment health. You can quickly see how everything is running at a high level or drill into individual agents for more detail. It's a simple way to stay on top of large Telegraf setups.

Introducing Telegraf Enterprise

Telegraf Enterprise is built to help teams manage Telegraf at scale. In this overview, Product Manager Scott Anderson introduces what’s included and how it works. The package combines Telegraf Controller, a web app for centralized configuration and agent observability, with dedicated enterprise support from the InfluxData team and Telegraf maintainers. If you’re running large Telegraf deployments and want more visibility and support, this gives you a clear look at what Telegraf Enterprise brings to the table.

Telegraf Overview - InfluxData's Metric Collection Agent

Telegraf is InfluxData’s open source agent for collecting metrics, and it’s used everywhere. In this quick overview, Product Manager Scott Anderson shares what makes it stand out, from more than 5 billion downloads to a huge plugin ecosystem with 400+ integrations. It’s also built by a strong community, with over 1,300 contributors and thousands of GitHub stars. That momentum is a big part of why Telegraf keeps growing.

A New Scale Tier for Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB

InfluxDB 3 on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now scales to 15-node clusters, unlocking higher ingestion, greater query concurrency, and real-time performance at scale. In this video, PM Pete Barnett breaks down what this means for high-resolution, high-velocity workloads, and how you can scale from Core to Enterprise with zero downtime or data migration.

InfluxDB 3 Core vs. Enterprise

In this video, Senior Developer Advocate Cole Bowden walks you through the key similarities and differences that exist in InfluxDB 3 Core and InfluxDB 3 Enterprise. As an open source offering, Core thrives at data collection on the edge and providing real-time insights into fresh data, while Enterprise includes support, compaction for performant historical analysis over wide windows, better scaling and security for enterprise-scale operations.
