Telegraf Enterprise Now Generally Available: Manage Telegraf Fleets at Scale

Summary: Telegraf Enterprise is now generally available. It combines Telegraf Controller, a centralized management console for Telegraf, with official support from InfluxData. Open source Telegraf remains unchanged. Telegraf Controller is free to start with built-in limits, while a Telegraf Enterprise license unlocks higher-scale limits, audit logging, LDAP/OIDC integration, and commercial support.

Telegraf has become the standard for collecting telemetry across cloud, edge, and physical infrastructure. With more than five billion downloads and 400+ official plugins, Telegraf is the open source standard to connect virtually any data source to any destination.

Over the years, we’ve seen Telegraf evolve from a lightweight collection agent into a foundational part of production infrastructure. But as deployments grow, the challenge shifts from collecting telemetry to managing the systems that collect it. Large Telegraf deployments require consistent configurations across environments, clear visibility into fleet health, and safe rollout of changes to thousands of agents. Many teams rely on scripts, internal tools, and manual processes to manage this, but these approaches quickly break down as deployments scale.

Telegraf Enterprise is now generally available to address these challenges, giving teams a centralized way to manage configurations, monitor fleet health, and operate Telegraf deployments with tens of thousands of agents from a single system.

Centralized control for large Telegraf deployments

As Telegraf becomes more deeply embedded in production environments, visibility and consistency become increasingly important. Teams need to understand which agents are healthy, what configurations are running across environments, and whether changes have been deployed successfully. They also need a way to manage differences between regions, customers, and environments without creating hundreds of nearly identical configurations.

Telegraf Enterprise combines Telegraf Controller, a centralized management console for Telegraf, with official InfluxData support. Telegraf Controller provides a centralized way to manage those deployments. Teams can create and manage configurations centrally, assign them to agents, and monitor fleet health from a single interface. Configuration templates and parameter substitution make it possible to standardize shared configurations while still allowing environment-specific values where needed.

For organizations operating large Telegraf deployments, consistency is just as important as collection. Keeping configurations aligned across thousands of agents, while continuing to work with existing automation systems, can quickly become an operational challenge.

The visual configuration builder makes it easier to create and review configurations across Telegraf’s 400+ plugin ecosystem without manually authoring every line of TOML.

“We run thousands of Telegraf agents across diverse customer environments. Telegraf Controller will help us use our existing automation tools to keep agent configurations consistent and up to date across our fleet as we continue expanding our observability platform.” – Poul H. Sørensen, Senior Systems Consultant at Orange Business

Open source Telegraf remains unchanged. The agent, the plugin ecosystem, and community continue as they always have. Telegraf Controller’s free tier supports up to 20 configs and 100 agents, making it easy to get started with centralized fleet management.

What an Enterprise license buys you

As your fleet grows and more people touch your Telegraf configurations, the free tier’s limits start becoming constraints. Telegraf Enterprise removes those constraints and scales to your needs, offering:

• Raised scale limits: The free version of Telegraf Controller makes it easy to get started and evaluate the product. A Telegraf Enterprise license raises the agent and configuration limits based on your licensed entitlement, allowing Telegraf Controller to grow with the size of your fleet.
• Audit logging: Telegraf Enterprise records security-relevant and administrative events, including configuration changes, permission updates, agent actions, login activity, and license changes. This provides clearer operational history for troubleshooting, compliance, and security investigations.
• Identity provider integration: Organizations can integrate Telegraf Enterprise with LDAP and OIDC rather than maintaining a separate user directory. For organizations using SSO or MFA through an identity provider, Telegraf Controller can integrate into that existing model.

Official support for Telegraf

Telegraf Enterprise adds an official InfluxData support path for organizations running Telegraf as part of their critical production infrastructure. Customers get support for both Telegraf Controller and the Telegraf agent, including installation, configuration, operational guidance, and troubleshooting assistance.

Upgrade in place

If you’re already running Telegraf Controller, there’s no separate Enterprise deployment or migration process. Add a valid license to your existing installation and the Enterprise capabilities unlock in place. The same deployment, agents, and configurations remain in place while additional scale, security, and support capabilities become available.

Get started

Telegraf Controller is available today with a free tier. Telegraf solved the problem of collecting telemetry from almost anywhere; Telegraf Enterprise helps teams operate that collection layer as it grows into critical infrastructure.
