title: concept of using telegraf with aerospike and influxdb
body: <p>I'm learing the concept of telegraf. It's a system that collects data and will write it to influxdb. So I've setup a influxdb, a telegraf and an nginx which will create the logs. Telegraf will collect the logs and write it to influxdb. </p>
  
  <p>But I see a lot of configurations which are also using aerospike. I don't see what aerospike is doing in this conecpt?</p>
  
  <p>I see it configured as input plugin for telegraf:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[[inputs.aerospike]]
     servers = ["aerospike:3000"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I wrong with the nginx part and is aerospike providing logs or how do I have to interpret this concept with using nginx, influxdb, telegraf and aerospike</p>
