Careful about installing Influxdb and Telegraf on the same system via RPM (maybe DEB too), they both share common paths and filenames, and cause one (or the other) not to start.
I am really excited about telegraf, but am worried about long term maintenance of yet another stats collector. It is very easy to setup, and seems like it will be quiet easy to extend.

Also, the changelog items for telegraf all point at influxdb issues.
