description TIG Stack Overview
The TIG Stack combines Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Grafana to collect, store, query, and visualize time-series measurements. Telegraf gathers metrics from hosts, applications, and services, InfluxDB stores time-stamped data, and Grafana presents dashboards and charts based on queries against that data. The stack is intended for monitoring infrastructure and software systems where changes in measurements over time are the primary concern.
help TIG Stack FAQ
What does the TIG Stack stand for?
TIG stands for Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Grafana. Telegraf collects measurements, InfluxDB stores time-series data, and Grafana displays dashboards and charts.
What is Telegraf responsible for in the TIG Stack?
Telegraf is the collection agent that gathers metrics from hosts, applications, and services. It then sends those time-stamped measurements to a database such as InfluxDB.
Why is InfluxDB used in the TIG Stack?
InfluxDB is designed to store and query time-series measurements such as CPU use, memory, network traffic, and sensor readings. Grafana can query that data to build visual dashboards.
Is Grafana the database in the TIG Stack?
No. Grafana is the visualization and dashboard layer, while InfluxDB stores the time-series data. Telegraf generally handles collection before the data reaches InfluxDB.
