FAQ

What's new in Telegraf 1.40?
Telegraf 1.40 adds two new plugins: a Databricks Zerobus output plugin for streaming metrics directly into Unity Catalog Delta tables over gRPC, and a Fritzbox Smarthome input plugin for reading device metrics from AVM's FRITZ! routers. The release also fixes several Cisco Model-Driven-Telemetry issues, corrects a SMART input bug for power-on-hours reporting, and migrates the Elasticsearch query input plugin to an official, maintained library with added support for Elasticsearch v7, v8, and v9.

Which Telegraf plugins were removed in 1.40?
Three deprecated input/output plugins were removed: inputs.aerospike, inputs.sflow, and outputs.amon. If you're running configurations that use any of these, you'll need to migrate to an alternative plugin before upgrading.

What deprecated plugin options were removed in Telegraf 1.40?
Several plugin-specific options were dropped: connection_strategy from inputs.kafka_consumer, server_diagnostics from </code class="language-markup">inputs.openstack, and cmdline_tag, pid_tag, and supervisor_unit from inputs.procstat. The from_beginning option was also removed from inputs.tail. InfluxData recommends running telegraf config migrate to automatically update existing configuration files affected by these removals.

How do I download and get support for Telegraf 1.40?
Binaries are available on InfluxData's Downloads page. For questions or issues, join the InfluxDB Community Slack or post on the InfluxDB Community Site. InfluxData also offers a free "Data Collection with Telegraf" course through InfluxDB University for those new to the tool.
