Support multiple Telegraf into the same pod

[yam8511]

Describe the issue here.

Is there any possible to support multiple Telegraf into the same pod?
In actual, I would like using Telegraf to collect metrics and logs from one pod.
But if I wrote input about metrics and another input about logs in the same "telegraf config", its collected data will be mixed to the same output.

Or, had already existed solution for the situation?

Hi @yam8511 thank you for opening an issue!

When you say same pod do you mean containers within a single pod under a deployment? Do I understand that you have two different containers within a single deployment that you would like to send to two different outputs based on the container?

Hi @BondAnthony thank you for reply.
Yes, it is. I would like send two (or more) different outputs based on one container.

Hey @yam8511 so sorry for the delay. You can definitely configure multiple outputs and route your input data within telegraf to different outputs based on tags. I believe you're looking for the tagpass and tagdrop selectors within telegraf. Here is a doc that explains these configurations with a few examples.

Let me know if this information helps. I'm currently using something similar where my inputs will create a new tag on the data being collected.
