hii, how does the output look like for this code? when i run this code, it shows null result.

@sundarsrst this config gives you the ability to use your telegraf as statsD listener, and parse the statsD messages to Influx Line protocol, ready to be sent to InfluxDB

Tweaked the template just a bit, to correct a typo and fix the uptime mapping. Using nomad 0.8.7

this made my day, ty ⚡

if you have issues with allocations showing after being deleted:

delete_gauges = true
