A new version of Telegraf, an open-source monitoring system, is now available. The 1.12.0 release includes several key features and enhancements, such as the addition of 13 new plugins that can ingest Docker logs, monitor Logstash, output data to custom scripts, and more. Additionally, users can now load external plugins without compiling them into the main Telegraf binary using a new flag. The release also includes over 50 enhancements to existing plugins across Telegraf, such as support for Elasticsearch 7.x and improved JSON parsing. New inputs have been added, including ones for apcupsd, Docker logs, Fireboard thermometers, Logstash, MarkLogic, OpenNTPD, and uWSGI. Furthermore, new outputs, parsers, and processors have also been introduced, such as the Exec Output Plugin, Form Urlencoded parser, Date Processor Plugin, Pivot Processor, Tag Limit Processor, and Unpivot Processor. The binaries for this release can be found on Telegraf's downloads page.
