为什么在使用statsd时我们需要telegraf

Question

I see the combination statsd + telegraf + influxdb used all the time.

• Statsd collects, aggregates and forwards metrics
• Telegraf aggregates and forwards metrics

Why not use just the statsd (without telegraf) to aggregate and forward metrics? What is the added benefit of including telegraf?

Answer 1

The last update to Etsy's statsd project was in 2016. One advantage of using telegraf is that it is an active project. Since telegraf has a Statsd plugin , it's possible that you don't need both.
