heroku-buildpack-telegraf's Introduction

heroku-buildpack-telegraf

A simple heroku buildpack to download, deploy and launch Telegraf on your dynos.

This buildpack downloads the latest Telegraf release (at the time of writing, 1.19.0), extracts it on your dyno and starts it via a .profile.d script.

You can use this buildpack for other observability platform (which support telegraf agent), just change the output in the config.
