Why do we need telegraf when using statsd

I see the combination statsd + telegraf + influxdb used all the time.

Why not use just the statsd (without telegraf) to aggregate and forward metrics? What is the added benefit of including telegraf?

The last update to Etsy's statsd project was in 2016. One advantage of using telegraf is that it is an active project. Since telegraf has a Statsd plugin, it's possible that you don't need both.
