Use Case

Hi,

What are some implementations of the Metrics interface?

Can we please implement a Telegraf (socket, UDP) client?

Expected behavior

N/A

Actual behavior

N/A

Additional info

No response

Can you elaborate on what you want to do? You can send data to Telegraf via e.g. TCP, UDP (via the socket listener input plugin) or HTTP (via the http_listener_v2 input plugin). The data should be formatted in any of the supported data formats...

I now see the line protocol concrete implementation in https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/influxdata/line-protocol/v2/lineprotocol

Would be helpful to link to more of these concrete types from the Metric implementation doc string.

Can the Bytes method in the line protocol be promoted to the Metric interface?

Sorry but the docs are user facing and I doubt that any user is interested in which library we use. However, you didn't answer what you are trying to do yet so it's hard to answer your question without context...
