Sending metrics from AppMetrics into Telegraf can be made with using Sockets layer. New feature is implemented in https://github.com/AppMetrics/Reporting/pull/50 It allows sending metrics via TCP and UDP protocols and with using unix domain sockets.
Currently connecting to InfluxDB via HTTP is well supported. Another common setup with InfluxDB is to distribute Telegraf agents across hosts which then submit the data to database.
Telegraf supports a variety of protocols however UDP can be very beneficial as it is fire and forget.
