Telegraf is not collecting the nginx access.logs

Telegraf
1

Hi

I am trying to run telegraf in openshift Container to collect the logs from nginx access.log.
But, It is not able to collect the logs.

I am getting below logs.

Most likely the logparser pattern doesn’t match the log lines, it would be helpful to paste you logparser configuration as well as a line from your logfile. Wow, Telegraf 1.0.0, you should upgrade too ;).
