The measured performance impact from the data collector is very low, and for lowest possible performance impact we advise that you install the data collector on a dedicated (non-Atom) host.

There are three parameters that can have a performance impact on the vm / container hosting the Atoms:

  1. Number of JMX metrics the agent is reading

  2. Sampling interval of the agent

  3. Type of JMX metrics the agent read from the Atoms

 

Bullet 1 and 3 is more or less locked down from Eyer (bullet 3 is based on Boomis recommended metrics) and what we support in the current version (can change with versions), and the metrics selected are ensuring the lowest performance impact possible. But number 2 is possible to tune within certain limits by the customer (see Adjust the Telegraf sampling interval )
