File Input Plugin
The file plugin parses the complete contents of a file every interval using the selected input data format.
Note: If you wish to parse only newly appended lines use the tail input plugin instead.
Configuration
[[inputs.file]]
## Files to parse each interval. Accept standard unix glob matching rules,
## as well as ** to match recursive files and directories.
files = ["/tmp/metrics.out"]
## 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"
## Name a tag containing the name of the file the data was parsed from. Leave empty
## to disable. Cautious when file name variation is high, this can increase the cardinality
## significantly. Read more about cardinality here:
## https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/reference/glossary/#series-cardinality
# file_tag = ""
