The intent of the plugin is to allow Telegraf to serve as a proxy/router for the `/write` endpoint of the InfluxDB HTTP API.
The `/write` endpoint supports the `precision` query parameter and can be set to one of `ns`, `u`, `ms`, `s`, `m`, `h`. All other parameters are ignored and defer to the output plugins configuration.
When chaining Telegraf instances using this plugin, CREATE DATABASE requests receive a 200 OK response with message body `{"results":[]}` but they are not relayed. The output configuration of the Telegraf instance which ultimately submits data to InfluxDB determines the destination database.
Enable TLS by specifying the file names of a service TLS certificate and key.
Enable mutually authenticated TLS and authorize client connections by signing certificate authority by including a list of allowed CA certificate file names in ````tls_allowed_cacerts````.
Enable basic HTTP authentication of clients by specifying a username and password to check for. These credentials will be received from the client _as plain text_ if TLS is not configured.
