Description

Use Case

I would like to have a new input format specifically for BMP data that a Telegraf instance is collecting and outputing to Kafka or direct to database before being graphed. Usage with the already present output options.

Expected behavior

I would expect the data to be streamed through the output to our destination just like our snmp, http, etc. inputs are doing.

Actual behavior

Right now this protocol is not supported.
