Changelog

v1.22.0

Influx Line Protocol Parser

There is an option to use a faster, more memory-efficient
implementation of the Influx Line Protocol parser. Users can enable
the use of the new plugin by adding the
influx_parser_type = "upstream" option when using the influx parser.

SNMP Translator

This version introduces an agent setting to select the method of
translating SNMP objects. The agent setting "snmp_translator" can be
"netsnmp" which translates by calling external programs snmptranslate
and snmptable, or "gosmi" which translates using the built-in gosmi
library.

Before version 1.21.0, Telegraf only used the netsnmp method. Versions
1.21.0 through 1.21.4 only used the gosmi method. Since the
translation method is now configurable and "netsnmp" is the default,
users who wish to continue using "gosmi" must add
snmp_translator = "gosmi" in the agent section of their config file. See
#10802.
