# Exec Input Plugin
The exec plugin can execute arbitrary commands which output JSON or
InfluxDB [line-protocol](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v0.9/write_protocols/line/).
The exec plugin can execute arbitrary commands which output:
* JSON
* InfluxDB [line-protocol](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v0.9/write_protocols/line/)
* Graphite [graphite-protocol](http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/feeding-carbon.html)
> Graphite understands messages with this format:
> ```
metric_path value timestamp\n
```
> __metric_path__ is the metric namespace that you want to populate.
> __value__ is the value that you want to assign to the metric at this time.
> __timestamp__ is the unix epoch time.
If using JSON, only numeric values are parsed and turned into floats. Booleans
and strings will be ignored.

You will get data in InfluxDB exactly as it is defined above,
tags are cpu=cpuN, host=foo, and datacenter=us-east with fields usage_idle
and usage_busy. They will receive a timestamp at collection time.
### Example 3
We can also change the data_format to "graphite" to use the metrics collecting scripts such as (compatible with graphite):
* Nagios [Mertics Plugins] (https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins)
* Sensu [Mertics Plugins] (https://github.com/sensu-plugins)

# Shell/commands array

The templates configuration will be used to parse the graphite metrics to support influxdb/opentsdb tagging store engines.
