Many of the examples provided within documentation are using a single dash for the command line arguments, but the telegraf executable explicitly has two dashes. There are also some inconsistencies with the ordering of the command line argument examples. I've ordered them so that the examples will show: config, config-directory, input-filter, test |

filestat Input Plugin
The filestat plugin gathers metrics about file existence, size, and other stats.
Configuration:
# Read stats about given file(s)
[[inputs.filestat]]
## Files to gather stats about.
## These accept standard unix glob matching rules, but with the addition of
## ** as a "super asterisk". See https://github.com/gobwas/glob.
files = ["/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf", "/var/log/**.log"]
## If true, read the entire file and calculate an md5 checksum.
md5 = false
Measurements & Fields:
- filestat
- exists (int, 0 | 1)
- size_bytes (int, bytes)
- md5 (optional, string)
Tags:
- All measurements have the following tags:
- file (the path the to file, as specified in the config)
Example Output:
$ telegraf --config /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf --input-filter filestat --test
