Now I get this error in the logfile after trying to start Telegraf.
[telegraf] Error running agent: Error parsing /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf, line 7: invalid TOML syntax
Got Telegraf working I had downloaded an html version of the config. Use this article follow the instructions in the Telegraf section to the letter.
Go into "\mnt\user\appdata\telegraf" there you will find a folder telegraf.conf delete this folder in the same directory place the telegraf.conf FILE from the github page. For now this gets rid of the error but i still am having with getting telegraf to start that is another issue i need to figure out.
