A custom script is a way to collect data from an application that is not supported by the default Telegraf plugins1. A custom script can be written in any language that can run on the end point VM, such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash2. The custom script must output the data in a specific format that can be parsed by the Telegraf agent and sent to vRealize Operations3. The custom script can be configured in the telegraf.conf file or in a separate file under the /etc/telegraf/telegraf.d/ directory4.
