[influxdb] Telegraf (Kafka Input & Output)

[Jim Hagan]

I am just doing some load testing on our InfluxDB Telegraf setup. Things
seem to be going well, we have a two layer setup. One layer reads from UDP
and sends to Kafka, another layer reads from Kafka and writes to Influx.

I noted yesterday afternoon, I started getting some non-zero readings fro
"gather_errors" on the layer that reads from Kafka. I'm running debug mode
for the logs and don't see anything, but there is just a background level
of 317 values in the internal agent metrics for gather errors.


Any thoughts? Is there a way I can get more insight into what is going on
here?
