Can you please paste the exact config file in code blocks please?

The current pasted config isn’t even valid TOML.

hey am facing issue with the telegraf as my telegraf.conf file is
[[outputs.s3]]
region = “us-east-1”
bucket = “specyfeedbackbatch”
access_key = “AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID”
secret_key = “AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY”

[[inputs.tail]]
files = [“C:\projects\logging_fastapi\logs_generated.*”]
from_beginning = true

and my error is 2024-02-27 17:23:21 2024-02-27T11:53:21Z I! Loading config: /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
2024-02-27 17:23:21 2024-02-27T11:53:21Z E! error loading config file /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf: error parsing data: line 9: invalid TOML syntax

could i get the source of the error.

It is best to start your own thread, rather than commenting on an old issue. The error message says there is an invalid TOML syntax on line 9 of your config. Run your config through a TOML validator and see what is wrong. My guess is your windows path needs to escape the backslashes:

files = [“C:\projects\logging_fastapi\logs_generated.*”]
