  telegraf --config telegraf.conf --test

  # run telegraf with all plugins defined in config file
  telegraf --config telegraf.conf

  # run telegraf, enabling the cpu & memory input, and influxdb output plugins
  telegraf --config telegraf.conf --input-filter cpu:mem --output-filter influxdb

  # run telegraf with pprof
