The Telegraf Elasticsearch plugin is really easy to use, and it can show you a lot of useful information. To begin, let's get the InfluxDB sandbox up and running as well as an Elasticsearch node that we can populate with some data using Kibana.
Installing the InfluxDB Sandbox

Just clone the repository and run the ./sandbox up command and you've got all four components of the TICK stack running in their own containers. Follow the instructions here to clone the repository and get it running.
