Telegraf calling python in windows

Telegraf
1

Greetings,

Running influxdb 2, telegraf latest on Windows 10. I have written my custom conf file

[[inputs.exec]]
  ## Commands array
  commands = [
    "./e_discovernodes.py"
  ]

  ## Timeout for each command to complete.
  timeout = "5s"

  ## measurement name suffix (for separating different commands)
  name_suffix = "_mycollector"

  ## 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 = "json"

my python scripts runs an elastic search query and returning the data as json. Am I going in the right direction?

I am currently getting an error

 %1 is not a valid Win32 application. for command

I will sort this out myself but was wondering if my conf file is looking good?

Thanks!

I had to add python.exe

[[inputs.exec]]
  ## Commands array
  commands = [
    "python.exe e_discovernodes.py"
  ]
