General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
Telegraf is an agent for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing metrics, logs, and other arbitrary data.
For binary builds, Docker images, RPM & DEB packages, and other builds of Telegraf, please see the install guide.
See the releases documentation for details on versioning and when releases are made.
Users define a TOML configuration with the plugins and settings they wish to use, then pass that configuration to Telegraf. The Telegraf agent then collects data from inputs at each interval and sends data to outputs at each flush interval.
