Careful about installing Influxdb and Telegraf on the same system via RPM (maybe DEB too), they both share common paths and filenames, and cause one (or the other) not to start.
I am really excited about telegraf, but am worried about long term maintenance of yet another stats collector. It is very easy to setup, and seems like it will be quiet easy to extend.
We'll have to fix the issues of installing on two systems. For the issue linked to InfluxDB I assume it was for the client tags. The tagging issue in Telegraf was actually a problem with the InfluxDB client.
Anyway, we're committed to maintaining this and pushing it forward
The dual-installation issue the grandparent mentioned also exists for DEB, which is what prompted my PR. Any way you can help with https://github.com/influxdb/telegraf/pull/23? I really want to install InfluxDB and Telegraf on the same system, but I don't want to maintain a fork.
Anyway, we're committed to maintaining this and pushing it forward
