Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Grafana are separate pieces of software that together allow you to graph metrics from
your servers and devices. With these graphs, charts, and other visualization tools available in Grafana, you can see
historical trends of space usage, CPU usage, and almost anything else. The three components make up the "TIG Stack", where
Telegraf collects the data, InfluxDB stores the data in a kind of database, and Grafana produces the graphs and alerts.

I've always wanted to collect metrics and visualize them in graphs. Things like free disk space or CPU temperatures. I ran
MRTG on my homelab file server for a few years, then tried [RRDtool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RRDtool) for a bit. It was
