Telegraf 1.29 has been released, offering new features and improvements, including a new Filter Processor plugin that allows for setting rules to keep or drop specific metrics, an LDAP Input plugin for monitoring LDAP servers' monitoring backend, and a Systemd Secret Store plugin for using systemd as a secret store backend. The release also introduces several important changes, such as the introduction of a new --unprotectedglobal flag to prevent reserving locked memory pages, deprecation of fieldpass and fielddrop modifiers, and support for Oracle and IBM Netezza SQL databases. Additionally, Telegraf now has improved migration tools to help users transition deprecated plugins and options to their migrated versions before they are removed in future releases.
