Research direction
This issue requests adding a new input plugin for Consul catalog metrics. Start by examining existing input plugins in the plugins/inputs/ directory (e.g., plugins/inputs/consul/ if it exists). Understand the Telegraf plugin interface and how metrics are reported. Review Consul's HTTP API documentation for the catalog endpoints (/v1/catalog/nodes, /v1/catalog/services) to identify the data points. There are no existing PRs or assignees, so the issue is open for contribution. Consider whether to create a new plugin or extend an existing one.
