Telegraf logparser giving error. Error parsing log line:: must have one or more fields

Question

Using Log parser input plugin, writing custom logs to influxdb. Input plugin logparser giving error: Error parsing log line:

filename.log: must have one or more fields.

This is running telegraf version 1.5.3 and is failing with above error. I expect telegraf logs to be fine and dump data to influx.

Answer 1

In influxdb, every point(record) is a group of tags and fields. Time is one of the default tags. But you should provide at least one field as part of a point. Your error hints the paoint, that you are trying insert does not have any fields.
