I’ve read the docs on JSON parsing ([telegraf/plugins/parsers/json at master · influxdata/telegraf · GitHub](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/parsers/json)) yet none seem to accomodate this strucutre. Am I overlooking something?

```
{
    "Count": 15,
    "Items": [
        {
            "Available2g": 7,
            "Date": "2018-12-06T13:36:33.8124561Z",
        },
        {
            "Available2g": 0,
            "Date": "2018-12-06T13:36:33.8124561Z",
        },

        [...]

```

I think you will want to start with the `json_query = "Items"` option. If that doesn’t work can you show me how you would prefer it to be parsed using an example in [InfluxDB Line Protocol](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/write_protocols/line_protocol_tutorial/)?
