Zack Zatkin-Gold dd537b3382 Fix telegraf example arguments (#2788) 
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

Example Input Plugin

This input plugin will test HTTP/HTTPS connections.

Configuration:

# HTTP/HTTPS request given an address a method and a timeout
[[inputs.http_response]]
  ## Server address (default http://localhost)
  address = "http://github.com"
  ## Set response_timeout (default 5 seconds)
  response_timeout = "5s"
  ## HTTP Request Method
  method = "GET"
  ## Whether to follow redirects from the server (defaults to false)
  follow_redirects = true
  ## HTTP Request Headers (all values must be strings)
  # [inputs.http_response.headers]
  #   Host = "github.com"
  ## Optional HTTP Request Body
  # body = '''
  # {'fake':'data'}
  # '''

  ## Optional substring or regex match in body of the response
  ## response_string_match = "\"service_status\": \"up\""
  ## response_string_match = "ok"
  ## response_string_match = "\".*_status\".?:.?\"up\""

  ## Optional SSL Config
  # ssl_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # ssl_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use SSL but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

Measurements & Fields:

  • http_response
    • response_time (float, seconds)
    • http_response_code (int) #The code received

Tags:

  • All measurements have the following tags:
    • server
    • method

Example Output:

$ ./telegraf --config telegraf.conf --input-filter http_response --test
http_response,method=GET,server=http://www.github.com http_response_code=200i,response_time=6.223266528 1459419354977857955
