filestat Input Plugin

The filestat plugin gathers metrics about file existence, size, and other stats.

Configuration:

# Read stats about given file(s)
[[inputs.filestat]]
  ## Files to gather stats about.
  ## These accept standard unix glob matching rules, but with the addition of
  ## ** as a "super asterisk". See https://github.com/gobwas/glob.
  files = ["/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf", "/var/log/**.log"]
  ## If true, read the entire file and calculate an md5 checksum.
  md5 = false

Measurements & Fields:

  • filestat
    • exists (int, 0 | 1)
    • size_bytes (int, bytes)
    • md5 (optional, string)

Tags:

  • All measurements have the following tags:
    • file (the path the to file, as specified in the config)

Example Output:
