Hi All!
I’m new to influxdb and telgraf. I’ve been trying to use a Github project where metrics are being collected from a product called vCloud Director (powershell script Grafana-Telegraf-vCloud-PsCore/vCloud.ps1 at master · vMarkusK/Grafana-Telegraf-vCloud-PsCore · GitHub) and make them available to grafana dashboards.
I followed all steps but I cannot make telegraf to send data to InfluxDB
telegraf@grafana-01:~$ telegraf --config-directory=/etc/telegraf --test --input-filter=exec

Configuration for sending metrics to InfluxDB
[[outputs.influxdb]]
The full HTTP or UDP URL for your InfluxDB instance.
Multiple URLs can be specified for a single cluster, only ONE of the
urls will be written to each interval.
urls = [“unix:///var/run/influxdb.sock”]
urls = [“udp://127.0.0.1:8089”]
urls = [“http://127.0.0.1:8086”] #required
The target database for metrics; will be created as needed.
For UDP url endpoint database needs to be configured on server side.
database = “telegraf” #required
Many thanks!
