Write using Telegraf Service

[akalongman]

Is it possible to send data from PHP via Telegraf service, instead of writing directly in InfluxDB? It could increase performance by multiple times

[akalongman]

Any ideas?

You can write to Telegraf, but why should this increase performance?

@andig
Telegraf service is running on the same machine, but InfluxDB is running on another machine, right? So, I want to avoid network overhead

yes

You mean by using Telegraf for batching writes if your client is not capable to do that?

I do not want to use blocking network requests from my PHP app. Even batch requests, because I think it is better to write in locally running Telegraf service via socket or some other protocol.

See https://www.influxdata.com/blog/influxdb-2-migration-path-instrumentation/ for how to use input listener/ influxdb output. I have not tested if this really improves performance.
