Systems like Amazon Linux are from the RedHat OS family but have a specific release versions notation. Influxdata does not always provide a yum repository with these versions, so it should be something to override in order to install telegraf from a different release version path. For instance, Influxdata currently provides telegraf for both RHEL versions 6 and 2016.09 with packages being the same (same checksums). This is because of Amazon Linux 2016.09 being a RHEL version 6. However, now Amazon Linux 2017.09 is out, still being a RHEL 6 but Influxdata does not provide a 2017.09 release version path so we cannon install telegraf on it. Overriding the release version to 6 or 2016.09 will allow to install.
