The InfluxData stack, which includes tick-charts, has undergone significant updates with the goal of making it easier to run on Kubernetes. The primary change is the re-architecture of the telegraf chart, which has been split into two for improved usability and reduced complexity. This allows users to easily spin up telegraf instances while minimizing configuration requirements. The new telegraf-s chart will utilize Helm's `toToml` template function to simplify instance creation, making it easier to generate configurations for plugins like SNMP or Jolokia. Future improvements aim to enhance production readiness, user experience, and provide more examples, including monitoring Prometheus endpoints with Telegraf.
