Influx Line Protocol Parser Plugin
Parses metrics using the Influx Line Protocol.
Configuration
[[inputs.file]]
files = ["example"]
## Data format to consume.
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
## more about them here:
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
data_format = "influx"
## Influx line protocol parser
## 'internal' is the default. 'upstream' is a newer parser that is faster
## and more memory efficient.
# influx_parser_type = "internal"
## Influx line protocol timestamp precision
## Time duration to specify the precision of the data's timestamp to parse.
## The default assumes nanosecond (1ns) precision, but users can set to
## second (1s), millisecond (1ms), or microsecond (1us) precision as well.
# influx_timestamp_precision = "1ns"
# Structs
