 The unRAID v6 paradigm though is that whenever possible applications should be run in a docker or a VM to segregate them for the OS system. Plugins are preferably reserved for things that need to modify the core system or the WebUI. 

This is exactly my point. Running telegraf in a container entirely defeats the purpose of docker, since telegraf needs extensive access to the host to do proper monitoring, thereby nullifying the benefits of segregation.

Sure I see that but it also makes it dead simple to install, manage and not to mention it just works

Oh i know, and i love docker for other things, but in the use case of telegraf, it would just feel dirty haha

Why not install telegraf via docker?

Just seems kind of an antipattern to do system monitoring from something whose entire paradigm is to be separated from the system.

Absolutely love this plugin. Any plans on adding something like telegraf to it? Would be an amazing addition, and highly useful to a large portion of the community.
