[influxdb] Plugin not found ?

[j***@gmail.com]

I couldn't find an answer in the documentation for either an environmental variable or the default location for plugins.

I have telegraf installed and I a directory in /home/test/telegraf with customized telegraf "stuff". Such as telegraf.conf and a plugin directory that has a custom plugin in it.

I can set the TELEGRAF_CONFIG_PATH env variable to use /home/test/telegraf/telegraf.conf, but I haven't figured out how to point to the custom plugin directory.

when I test telegraf I get the following error:

export TELEGRAF_CONFIG_PATH=/home/test/telegraf.conf
***@doctor-who:~# /usr/bin/telegraf --test
