# Telegraf Internal Input Plugin
This plugin collects metrics about the telegraf agent and its plugins.
> [!NOTE]
> Some metrics are aggregates across all instances of a plugin type.
⭐ Telegraf v1.2.0
🏷️ applications
💻 all
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Collect statistics about itself
[[inputs.internal]]
## If true, collect telegraf memory stats.
# collect_memstats = true
## If true, collect metrics from Go's runtime.metrics. For a full list see:
## https://pkg.go.dev/runtime/metrics
# collect_gostats = false
```
## Metrics
memstats are collected using the [Go runtime framework][memstats]
- internal_memstats
- alloc_bytes
- frees
- heap_alloc_bytes
- heap_idle_bytes
- heap_in_use_bytes
- heap_objects_bytes
- heap_released_bytes
- heap_sys_bytes
- mallocs
- num_gc
- pointer_lookups
- sys_bytes
- total_alloc_bytes
agent stats collect aggregate stats on all telegraf plugins.
- internal_agent
- gather_errors
- gather_timeouts
- metrics_dropped
- metrics_gathered
- metrics_written
internal_gather stats collect aggregate stats on all input plugins
that are of the same input type. They are tagged with `input=<plugin_name>`
`version=<telegraf_version>` and `go_version=<go_build_version>`.
- internal_gather
- gather_time_ns
- metrics_gathered
- gather_timeouts
internal_write stats collect aggregate stats on all output plugins
that are of the same input type. They are tagged with `output=<plugin_name>`
and `version=<telegraf_version>`.
- internal_write
- buffer_limit
- buffer_size
- metrics_added
- metrics_written
- metrics_dropped
- metrics_filtered
- write_time_ns
internal_<plugin_name> are metrics which are defined on a per-plugin basis, and
usually contain tags which differentiate each instance of a particular type of
plugin and `version=<telegraf_version>`.
- internal_<plugin_name>
- individual plugin-specific fields, such as requests counts.
All measurements for specific plugins are tagged with information relevant
to each particular plugin and with `version=<telegraf_version>`.
