The influx data format outputs metrics into InfluxDB Line Protocol. This is the recommended format unless another format is required
for interoperability.
[[outputs.file]]
## Files to write to, "stdout" is a specially handled file.
files = ["stdout", "/tmp/metrics.out"]
## Data format to output.
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
## more about them here:
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md

## Maximum line length in bytes. Useful only for debugging.
influx_max_line_bytes = 0
## When true, fields will be output in ascending lexical order. Enabling
## this option will result in decreased performance and is only recommended
## when you need predictable ordering while debugging.
influx_sort_fields = false
## When true, Telegraf will output unsigned integers as unsigned values,
## i.e.: `42u`. You will need a version of InfluxDB supporting unsigned
## integer values. Enabling this option will result in field type errors if
## existing data has been written.
