InfluxDB input

[joshuaspence]

Currently Telegraf has an influxdb input which works by querying a HTTP endpoint. I am looking for an alternative InfluxDB input that is more similar to the statsd input. The statsd input essentially sets up a TCP listener that other application can send StatsD-formatted data to. Is there an equivalent for InfluxDB?

there isn't an http influxdb service plugin, but you could use the tcp_listener, udp_listener, etc. plugins, which can parse the influx line-protocol data format.

There is also #1407 which would add an http input plugin.
