This plugin sends telegraf metrics to an external application over stdin.
The command should be defined similar to docker's exec
form:
["executable", "param1", "param2"]
On non-zero exit stderr will be logged at error level.
For better performance, consider execd, which runs continuously.
[[outputs.exec]]
