 This plugin writes to [InfluxDB](https://www.influxdb.com) via HTTP or UDP.
 
+### Configuration:
+
+```toml
+# Configuration for influxdb server to send metrics to
+[[outputs.influxdb]]
+  ## The full HTTP or UDP endpoint URL for your InfluxDB instance.
+  ## Multiple urls can be specified as part of the same cluster,
+  ## this means that only ONE of the urls will be written to each interval.
+  # urls = ["udp://localhost:8089"] # UDP endpoint example
+  urls = ["http://localhost:8086"] # required
+  ## The target database for metrics (telegraf will create it if not exists).
+  database = "telegraf" # required
+
+  ## Retention policy to write to. Empty string writes to the default rp.
+  retention_policy = ""
+  ## Write consistency (clusters only), can be: "any", "one", "quorom", "all"
+  write_consistency = "any"
+
+  ## Write timeout (for the InfluxDB client), formatted as a string.
+  ## If not provided, will default to 5s. 0s means no timeout (not recommended).
+  timeout = "5s"
+  # username = "telegraf"
+  # password = "metricsmetricsmetricsmetrics"
+  ## Set the user agent for HTTP POSTs (can be useful for log differentiation)
+  # user_agent = "telegraf"
+  ## Set UDP payload size, defaults to InfluxDB UDP Client default (512 bytes)
+  # udp_payload = 512
+
+  ## Optional SSL Config
+  # ssl_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
+  # ssl_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
+  # ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
+  ## Use SSL but skip chain & host verification
+  # insecure_skip_verify = false
+```

 * `urls`: List of strings, this is for InfluxDB clustering

 ### Optional parameters:
 
+* `write_consistency`: Write consistency (clusters only), can be: "any", "one", "quorom", "all".
 * `retention_policy`:  Retention policy to write to.
-* `precision`: Precision of writes, valid values are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h". note: using "s" precision greatly improves InfluxDB compression.
 * `timeout`: Write timeout (for the InfluxDB client), formatted as a string. If not provided, will default to 5s. 0s means no timeout (not recommended).
 * `username`: Username for influxdb
 * `password`: Password for influxdb
 * `user_agent`:  Set the user agent for HTTP POSTs (can be useful for log differentiation)
 * `udp_payload`: Set UDP payload size, defaults to InfluxDB UDP Client default (512 bytes)
