* Exporting Ipmi.Path to be set by config.
Currently "path" is not exported, giving this error when users try to
override the variable via telegraf.conf as per the sample config:
`field corresponding to `path' is not defined in `*ipmi_sensor.Ipmi'`
Exporting the variable solves the problem.
* Updating changelog.
During issue #2215 it was highlighted that the current behavior where
rules without a comment are ignored is confusing for several users.
This commit improves the documentation and adds a NOTE to the sample
config to clarify the behavior for new users.
* Procstat: don't cache PIDs
Changed the procstat input plugin to not cache PIDs. Solves #1636.
The logic of creating a process by pid was moved from `procstat.go` to
`spec_processor.go`.
* Procstat: go fmt
* procstat: modify changelog for #2206
* ceph: maps are already refs, no need to use a pointer
* ceph: pgmap_states are represented in a single metric "count", differenciated by tag
* Update CHANGELOG
* Add in support for looking for substring in response
* Add note to CHANGELOG.md
* Switch from substring match to regex match
* Requested code changes
* Make requested changes and refactor to avoid nested if-else.
* Convert tabs to space and compile regex once
* Make Logparser Plugin Check For New Files
Check in the Gather metric to see if any new files matching the glob
have appeared. If so, start tailing them from the beginning.
* changelog update for #2141
If we write a batch of points and get a "field type conflict" error
message in return, we should drop the entire batch of points because
this indicates that one or more points have a type that doesnt match the
database.
These errors will never go away on their own, and InfluxDB will
successfully write the points that dont have a conflict.
closes#2245
doing this unblocks incoming metrics while waiting for a flush to take
place.
we have to create a semaphore so that we can
'skip' flushes that try to run while a flush is already running.
