which version of telegraf are you running?
if it’s an old version it might not have outputs.influxdb_v2

otherwise, it can be a

  • a typo (but looks fine to me)
  • you are using a custom build, and that plugin was not included
  • a bug

Got the solution, issue was due to version mix match, i am using latest version and was using config file from old telegraf version.

Thanks a lot for checking my post.
Lesson Learnt - Always have same version on all servers and use same config file.
