Closes 26912

  • My steps to fix:
  1. Check out the source telegraf to my local.
  2. Run go run ./cmd/telegraf config > etc/telegraf.conf command to generate etc/telegraf.conf file.
  3. Tweak the src/writeData/utils/updateTelegrafPlugins.mjs so it will get contents from my local influxdata/telegra/etc/telegraf.conf instead of the remote repository /influxdata/telegraf.
  4. Run telegraf-plugins:update command to generate new contents for md and conf files.
  5. Create this PR.

This is just a very primitive implementation of the updateTelegrafPlugins.mjs to make the script work
updateTelegrafPlugins.txt

  • Some thoughts:
  1. I don't know how these things should work exactly; this is just my assumption. If my fixes are not correct, then I will just manually remove the - at the beginning of the .conf file.
  2. If this is correct, then we should update the src/writeData/utils/README.md guidance and the src/writeData/utils/updateTelegrafPlugins.mjs script file to get contents from etc/telegraf.conf in the local repository, not the remote.
  • Before the fix, there is a - at the beginning of the file.

  • After I modify src/writeData/utils/updateTelegrafPlugins.mjs and run the command telegraf-plugins:update, the - at the beginning of the file disappears.
