+### Telegraf    
+The data for the dashboard is populated by the included Telegraf configuration. The Telegraf Configuration requires the following environment variables
+    
+  - `INFLUX_TOKEN` - The token with the permissions to read Telegraf configs and write data to a bucket. You can just use your master token to get started.
+  - `INFLUX_ORG` - The name of your Organization (this will be your email address on the InfluxDB Cloud free tier)
+  - `INFLUX_HOST` - The URL of your InfluxDB host (this can your localhost, a remote instance, or InfluxDB Cloud)
+  - `INFLUX_BUCKET` - The name of your bucket (default name is `snmp`)
+
+You **MUST** set these environment variables before running Telegraf using something similar to the following commands
+    
+  - This can be found on the `Load Data` > `Tokens` page in your browser: `export INFLUX_TOKEN=TOKEN`
+  - Your Organization name can be found on the Settings page in your browser: `export INFLUX_ORG=my_org`
+
+Each Telegraf configuration requires to update inputs.snmp section to configure SNMP connection parameters.

 Extend the telegraf configuration using SNMP OID codes to process more metrics.
