Telegraf Encoding utf-8

Telegraf

Hello, and thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

I have influxdb and telegraf running and collecting data.

When collecting CPU data of the physical machine through telegraf, the collected data are all garbled in the log

like that nable to parse '�Uz%': missing fields tn8�[Z �h>�|,>�d&"���m�ج���sc�7S!���L�%�}�I9"

HTTP Content-Encoding for write request body, can be set to “gzip” to

compress body or “identity” to apply no encoding.

content_encoding = “identity”

如果你使用http的方式 发送数据到后端influxdb 默认是不支持gzip的格式的
需要修改这里为 identity

Can you run locale on your system and get the output?

yes i can

I found the answer to the question. I need to set the HTTP sending mode

## HTTP Content-Encoding for write request body, can be set to "gzip" to
## compress body or "identity" to apply no encoding.
content_encoding = "identity"
