Telegraf 1.0 has been released, marking a significant milestone in the project's journey since its inception nearly two years ago when there were only 18 input plugins and one output plugin available. The new release includes over 80 input plugins and 18 output plugins, with nearly 40 features or enhancements added and more than 45 bugfixes since the previous version. Three notable community contributions include a new SNMP plugin, a webhooks plugin that allows multiple services to run on a single port, and support for being installed as a Windows Service. The next steps include deploying Telegraf on cloud platforms, running it on servers, and sharing user stories of its success, with various incentives offered to encourage adoption.
