All agents we recommend for metric collection are configured to securely transmit data using your unique Hosted Graphite API key. This ensures that each data packet is authenticated and isolated to your specific environment. We prioritize security in our recommendations, selecting agents with proven records in secure data handling.
With the recommended Telegraf agent, most of their input plugins also have an optional TLS config for additional security measures when connecting to your internal services.
