telegraf - running as a daemon
By default, telegraf comes as a tar/zip file which are not installed into a specific folder. As part the linux way of doing things, packages are placed in /user/local folder. I needed to configure telegraf as my daemon. So i used the following conf and place it under /etc/systemd/system [Unit] Description=telegraf.servicee [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/telegraf --config /usr/local/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target: To reload and re-run all the daemon. sudo systemctl daemon-reload To start a single service systemctl start telegraf.service To stop the status systemctl status telegraf.service To get the status systemctl status telegraf.service
