view the uname output

The entire output? Or only a part of uname, like the kernel version?

[[inputs.exec]]
  commands = ["uname -r"]
  timeout = "5s"
  data_format = "value"
  data_type = "string"

can produce:

exec,host=ryzen value="6.3.8-arch1-1" 1687353243000000000

@raviteja.chandika if you just want the output as a single string (i.e. not split into fields) you can simply replace the -r flag in @jpowers example!?!
