AgentConfig1.4.0

For example, interval = 10.s collects on :00, :10, :20, etc.

This controls the size of writes that Telegraf sends to output plugins.

Increasing this value allows for longer periods of output downtime without dropping metrics at the cost of higher maximum memory usage.

Each plugin will sleep for a random time within jitter before collecting. This can be used to avoid many plugins querying things like sysfs at the same time, which can have a measurable effect on the system.

Maximum flush interval is flush_interval + flush_jitter.

This jitters the flush interval by a random amount. This is primarily to avoid large write spikes for users running a large number of telegraf instances. For example, a jitter of 5s and interval 10s means flushes will happen every 10-15s.

Precision will NOT be used for service inputs. It is up to each individual service input to set the timestamp at the appropriate precision.

If set to the empty string, logs are written to stderr.

When set to 0.s, no time based rotation is performed.

When set to 0.b, no size based rotation is performed.

If set to -1, no archives are removed.
