[BUG] Unable to query tags for Ping input

1

I’ve been a little stuck getting the unique set of tags for the URL table created by the ping input, any ideas where I’ve gone wrong?

[[inputs.ping]]
  interval = "60s"
  urls = ["192.231.203.132", "2001:44b8:1::1", "1.1.1.1", "2606:4700:4700::1111", "8.8.8.8", "2001:4860:4860::8888"]
  count = 20
  ping_interval = 1.0
  timeout = 2.0

Query Output;

This works for me

show tag values from “ping” with key = url

Mixture of both the methods you tried. Hopefully that gets it

Nope still no luck.

And its definitely a tag

Looks like I have a bad version, as per this related thread New Tag values not showing in “SHOW TAG VALUES” & Bug. Not sure why the devs haven’t rushed to fix this, its a pretty bad look when the latest stable build breaks right out of the box.
