## more about them here:
## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
data_format = "json"
json_timestamp_units = "1ns"
```
By default, the timestamp that is output in JSON data format serialized Telegraf
metrics is in seconds. The precision of this timestamp can be adjusted for any output
by adding the optional `json_timestamp_units` parameter to the configuration for
that output. This parameter can be used to set the timestamp units to nanoseconds (`ns`),
microseconds (`us` or `µs`), milliseconds (`ms`), or seconds (`s`). Note that this
parameter will be truncated to the nearest power of 10 that, so if the `json_timestamp_units`
are set to `15ms` the timestamps for the JSON format serialized Telegraf metrics will be
output in hundredths of a second (`10ms`).
