Use with Telegraf

Telegrafbacnet is an execd plugin that outputs metrics on its own. Here is an example part of Telegraf configuration:

[[inputs.execd]]
  ## Program to run as daemon
  command = ["telegrafbacnet", "--config", "/etc/telegrafbacnet.toml"]

  ## Define how the process is signaled on each collection interval.
  ## Valid values are:
  ##   "none"   : Do not signal anything.
  ##              The process must output metrics by itself.
  ##   "STDIN"   : Send a newline on STDIN.
  ##   "SIGHUP"  : Send a HUP signal. Not available on Windows.
  ##   "SIGUSR1" : Send a USR1 signal. Not available on Windows.
  ##   "SIGUSR2" : Send a USR2 signal. Not available on Windows.
  signal = "none"

  ## Delay before the process is restarted after an unexpected termination
  restart_delay = "10s"

  ## Data format to consume.
  ## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
