A new maintenance release for Telegraf is available now.

This maintenance release of Telegraf includes the following improvements:

  • Agent
    • The JSON format is now compatible with nulls to ensure Telegraf successfully detects null values and returns an empty metric without error.
    • The common.shim has been updated to accept larger inputs from the scanner.
  • APCUPSD Input (apcupsd)
    • Resolved an ALARMDEL bug in a forked repository. This fix ensures the plugin works when no alarm delay duration is set.
  • Converter Processor (converter)
    • Added support for float64 to support converting longer hexadecimal string values into a numeric type without losing in precision. Note: if a string number exceeds the size limit for float64, precision may still be lost.
  • NFS Client Input (nfsclient)
    • Updated to successfully collect metrics other than read and write.
  • SNMP Input (snmp)
    • Updated to log snmpv3 auth failures.
  • Sumo Logic Output (sumologic)
  • VMware vSphere Input (vsphere)
    • Added the MetricLookback setting to handle reporting delays in vCenter 6.7 and later.
  • OPC UA Client Input (opcua)
    • Fixed the error handling.

The binaries for the latest open source release can be found on our downloads page.
