# File Output Plugin
This plugin writes metrics to one or more local files in one of the supported
[data formats][data_formats].
⭐ Telegraf v0.10.3
🏷️ system
💻 all
[data_formats]: /docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
## 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
# Send telegraf metrics to file(s)
[[outputs.file]]
## Files to write to, "stdout" is a specially handled file.
files = ["stdout", "/tmp/metrics.out"]
## Use batch serialization format instead of line based delimiting. The
## batch format allows for the production of non line based output formats and
## may more efficiently encode and write metrics.
# use_batch_format = false
## The file will be rotated after the time interval specified. When set
## to 0 no time based rotation is performed.
# rotation_interval = "0h"
## The logfile will be rotated when it becomes larger than the specified
## size. When set to 0 no size based rotation is performed.
# rotation_max_size = "0MB"
## Maximum number of rotated archives to keep, any older logs are deleted.
## If set to -1, no archives are removed.
# rotation_max_archives = 5
## Data format to output.
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
## more about them here:
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
data_format = "influx"
## Compress output data with the specified algorithm.
## If empty, compression will be disabled and files will be plain text.
## Supported algorithms are "zstd", "gzip" and "zlib".
# compression_algorithm = ""
## Compression level for the algorithm above.
## Please note that different algorithms support different levels:
## zstd -- supports levels 1, 3, 7 and 11.
## gzip -- supports levels 0, 1 and 9.
## zlib -- supports levels 0, 1, and 9.
## By default the default compression level for each algorithm is used.
# compression_level = -1
