+# Parse the new lines appended to a file
+[[inputs.tail]]
+  ## File names or a pattern to tail.
+  ## These accept standard unix glob matching rules, but with the addition of
+  ## ** as a "super asterisk". ie:
+  ##   "/var/log/**.log"  -> recursively find all .log files in /var/log
+  ##   "/var/log/*/*.log" -> find all .log files with a parent dir in /var/log
+  ##   "/var/log/apache.log" -> just tail the apache log file
+  ##   "/var/log/log[!1-2]*  -> tail files without 1-2
+  ##   "/var/log/log[^1-2]*  -> identical behavior as above
+  ## See https://github.com/gobwas/glob for more examples
+  ##
+  files = ["/var/mymetrics.out"]
+
+  ## Offset to start reading at
+  ## The following methods are available:
+  ##   beginning          -- start reading from the beginning of the file ignoring any persisted offset
+  ##   end                -- start reading from the end of the file ignoring any persisted offset
+  ##   saved-or-beginning -- use the persisted offset of the file or, if no offset persisted, start from the beginning of the file
+  ##   saved-or-end       -- use the persisted offset of the file or, if no offset persisted, start from the end of the file
+  # initial_read_offset = "saved-or-end"
+
+  ## Whether file is a named pipe
+  # pipe = false
+
+  ## Method used to watch for file updates.  Can be either "inotify" or "poll".
+  ## inotify is supported on linux, *bsd, and macOS, while Windows requires
+  ## using poll. Poll checks for changes every 250ms.
+  # watch_method = "inotify"
+
+  ## Maximum lines of the file to process that have not yet be written by the
+  ## output.  For best throughput set based on the number of metrics on each
+  ## line and the size of the output's metric_batch_size.
+  # max_undelivered_lines = 1000
+
+  ## Character encoding to use when interpreting the file contents.  Invalid
+  ## characters are replaced using the unicode replacement character.  When set
+  ## to the empty string the data is not decoded to text.
+  ##   ex: character_encoding = "utf-8"
+  ##       character_encoding = "utf-16le"
+  ##       character_encoding = "utf-16be"
+  ##       character_encoding = ""
+  # character_encoding = ""
+
+  ## Data format to consume.
+  ## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
+  ## more about them here:
+  ## https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_INPUT.md
+  data_format = "influx"
+
+  ## Set the tag that will contain the path of the tailed file. If you don't want this tag, set it to an empty string.
+  # path_tag = "path"
+
+  ## Filters to apply to files before generating metrics
+  ## "ansi_color" removes ANSI colors
+  # filters = []
+
+  ## multiline parser/codec
+  ## https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/2.4/plugins-filters-multiline.html
+  #[inputs.tail.multiline]
+    ## The pattern should be a regexp which matches what you believe to be an indicator that the field is part of an event consisting of multiple lines of log data.
+    #pattern = "^\s"
+
+    ## The field's value must be previous or next and indicates the relation to the
+    ## multi-line event.
+    #match_which_line = "previous"
+
+    ## The invert_match can be true or false (defaults to false).
+    ## If true, a message not matching the pattern will constitute a match of the multiline filter and the what will be applied. (vice-versa is also true)
+    #invert_match = false
+
+    ## The handling method for quoted text (defaults to 'ignore').
+    ## The following methods are available:
+    ##   ignore  -- do not consider quotation (default)
+    ##   single-quotes -- consider text quoted by single quotes (')
+    ##   double-quotes -- consider text quoted by double quotes (")
+    ##   backticks     -- consider text quoted by backticks (`)
+    ## When handling quotes, escaped quotes (e.g. \") are handled correctly.
+    #quotation = "ignore"
+
+    ## The preserve_newline option can be true or false (defaults to false).
+    ## If true, the newline character is preserved for multiline elements,
+    ## this is useful to preserve message-structure e.g. for logging outputs.
+    #preserve_newline = false
+
+    #After the specified timeout, this plugin sends the multiline event even if no new pattern is found to start a new event. The default is 5s.
+    #timeout = 5s
