Telegraf no push to influxdb

Telegraf
1

Hi,
i’m trying to collect data from a log file,
and push it to influxdb, for some reason the process starts but nothing happens.

this is my telegraf config file:

[[inputs.logparser]]
  
   
   files = ["/var/log/centralisation/2020/03/aprprd/nodejs/api/accident-chain-api.log"]
   
  #from_beginning = false
 
  ## Method used to watch for file updates.  Can be either "inotify" or "poll".
   #watch_method = "poll"
  name_override = "nodejs_test"

  ## Parse logstash-style "grok" patterns:
  [inputs.logparser.grok]
   
         patterns = ['%{TS_UNIX:timestamp:ts-syslog} \- %{DATA:level}: \[%{DATA:component}\] %{GREEDYDATA:details} \- host="%{DATA:host}"']
   custom_patterns = '''
     TS_UNIX %{MONTH} %{MONTHDAY} %{HOUR}:%{MINUTE}:%{SECOND}
    '''
   
    timezone = "Europe/Paris"

this is what the log file is showing:

and this is a sample from the log file:

Hello @saida,
Welcome! Unfortunately, I’m terrible at writing patterns. Have you tried using this debugger to help you?
Additionally, have you tried setting debug=true in your telegraf config?
Thank you.
