# Telegraf Controller 1.1: Make Fleet-Wide Config Changes with a Single Edit

**[InfluxData](https://daily.dev/sources/influxdb)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Telegraf Controller 1.1 adds fleet-wide configuration management features: global constants for defining shared values once, configuration groups for bundling configs as role profiles, and configuration aliases for human-readable identifiers instead of UUIDs. Configuration versioning tracks every change with a diff-and-revert audit trail, while high availability (Telegraf Enterprise only) lets multiple Controller instances share a database with automatic failover so agents keep pulling configs if an instance goes down. Together these features let a single edit—like changing an output endpoint—propagate across an entire fleet on the next config pull.

## Questions this post answers

### What new features does Telegraf Controller 1.1 add for managing agent fleets?

Telegraf Controller 1.1 adds high availability, configuration versioning, global constants, configuration groups, and configuration aliases. Global constants let a shared value like an output endpoint be defined once and referenced with ::{constant_name} syntax. Configuration groups bundle multiple configs into an ordered unit agents retrieve in one request, and aliases give configs human-readable names instead of UUIDs.

### Is high availability for Telegraf Controller free or does it require Telegraf Enterprise?

High availability for Telegraf Controller requires Telegraf Enterprise; it is not included in the free version. It runs multiple Controller instances from a shared database with automatic failover, so agents keep pulling configuration and reporting health if one instance goes down. Configuration versioning, aliases, global constants, and configuration groups are all available free.

_Compare free versus paid tiers of infrastructure tools like Telegraf Controller on daily.dev._

### How do Telegraf Controller configuration groups work as role profiles for different server types?

Configuration groups bundle multiple configs into an ordered unit that agents retrieve in a single request, composing by reference rather than by copy. A base config with system inputs every host runs can be combined with role-specific configs for a web server or database host, so tuning the base config once updates every role without maintaining drifting copies.
