We have configured our Telegraf to gather the JOLOKIA Stats from Tomcat JVMs.
To take advantage of the Jolokia’s “Bulk Requests” feature, the request needs to be a POST instead of GET per the Jolokia documentation: Chapter 6. Jolokia Protocol
I tried to search Telegraf documentation to find what type of request does telegraf generate when configured with Jolokia, but didn’t find a definitive answer (only a single reference in a comment of: Jolokia plugin: POST requests need configuration documentation · Issue #1834 · influxdata/telegraf · GitHub)
Can you please confirm?
