# Teamspeak 3 Input Plugin

This plugin uses the Teamspeak 3 ServerQuery interface of the Teamspeak server to collect statistics of one or more
virtual servers. If you are querying an external Teamspeak server, make sure to add the host which is running Telegraf
to query_ip_allowlist.txt in the Teamspeak Server directory. For information about how to configure the server take a look
the [Teamspeak 3 ServerQuery Manual](http://media.teamspeak.com/ts3_literature/TeamSpeak%203%20Server%20Query%20Manual.pdf)
