+#   ## These accept standard unix glob matching rules, but with the addition of
+#   ## ** as a "super asterisk". ie:
+#   ##   /var/log/**.log     -> recursively find all .log files in /var/log
+#   ##   /var/log/*/*.log    -> find all .log files with a parent dir in /var/log
+#   ##   /var/log/apache.log -> only tail the apache log file
+#   files = ["/var/log/influxdb/influxdb.log"]

+#     ## This is a list of patterns to check the given log file(s) for.
+#     ## Note that adding patterns here increases processing time. The most
+#     ## efficient configuration is to have one pattern per logparser.
+#     ## Other common built-in patterns are:
+#     ##   %{COMMON_LOG_FORMAT}   (plain apache & nginx access logs)
+#     ##   %{COMBINED_LOG_FORMAT} (access logs + referrer & agent)
