Telegraf v1.38.1 released on 16-03-2026
Telegraf v1.38.1 is out now. It addresses several plugin and internal issues so collected metrics are less likely to be malformed, container states are more observable, and debugging of exec-based inputs is easier.
See the project’s GitHub release and the published download packages for full details and platform-specific installers and checksums.
What’s in this release
- inputs.diskio: sanitize newline characters in serial tag to avoid malformed tags
- inputs.docker: emit status metrics for non-running containers so container state is visible
- inputs.exec: log stderr messages to help with debugging scripts and commands
Upgrade notes
