Currently adding with time is broken, because InfluxDB does not support
using precision for timestamp truncation both with and without
timestamps. This will be re-enabled once we fix InfluxDB to use the
precision argument for truncation in all cases, and a "unit" argument
in the line-protocol for adding points with non-nanosecond stamps
Fixes#175
The Kafka consumer plugin polls a specified Kafka topic and adds messages to
InfluxDB. The plugin assumes messages follow the line protocol. Consumer Group
is used to talk to the Kafka cluster so multiple instances of telegraf can read
from the same topic in parallel.
