Hello,
I am getting a FATAL error due to a file that was used in the past. Actually, the line in telegraf.conf is commented and nothing in syslog is refferencing that file.
After the error, telegraf is not sending more data and I need to restart telegraf service.
I tried restarting also rsyslog service but, does not work.
This is the error that I see in logs:
