+===============
+Telegraf Module 
+===============
+The Telegraf module collects and sends statistics series to a Telegraf agent.
+
+The Telegraf agent can buffer, aggregate, parse and process the data before
+sending it to an output which can be InfluxDB, ElasticSearch and many more.
+
+Currently the only way to send statistics to Telegraf from this module is to
+use the socket listener. The module can send statistics over UDP, TCP or
+a UNIX socket.
+
+The Telegraf module was introduced in the 13.x *Mimic* release.
+
+--------
+Enabling 
+--------
+
+To enable the module, use the following command:
+
+::
+
+    ceph mgr module enable telegraf
+
+If you wish to subsequently disable the module, you can use the corresponding
+*disable* command:
+
+::
+
+    ceph mgr module disable telegraf
+
+-------------
+Configuration 
+-------------
+
+For the telegraf module to send statistics to a Telegraf agent it is
+required to configure the address to send the statistics to.
+
+Set configuration values using the following command:
+
+::
+
+    ceph telegraf config-set <key> <value>
+
+
+The most important settings are ``address`` and ``interval``.
+
+For example, a typical configuration might look like this:
+
+::
+
+    ceph telegraf config-set address udp://:8094
+    ceph telegraf config-set interval 10
+    
+The default values for these configuration keys are:
+
+- address: unixgram:///tmp/telegraf.sock
+- interval: 15
+
+----------------
+Socket Listener
+----------------
+The module only supports sending data to Telegraf through the socket listener
+of the Telegraf module using the Influx data format.
+
+A typical Telegraf configuration might be:
+
+
+    [[inputs.socket_listener]]
+    # service_address = "tcp://:8094"
+    # service_address = "tcp://127.0.0.1:http"
+    # service_address = "tcp4://:8094"
+    # service_address = "tcp6://:8094"
+    # service_address = "tcp6://[2001:db8::1]:8094"
+    service_address = "udp://:8094"
+    # service_address = "udp4://:8094"
+    # service_address = "udp6://:8094"
+    # service_address = "unix:///tmp/telegraf.sock"
+    # service_address = "unixgram:///tmp/telegraf.sock"
+    data_format = "influx"
+
+In this case the `address` configuration option for the module would need to be set
+to:
+
+  udp://:8094
+
+
+Refer to the Telegraf documentation for more configuration options.
