Configuration

[[inputs.monit]]
  ## Monit HTTPD address
  address = "http://127.0.0.1:2812"

  ## Username and Password for Monit
  # username = ""
  # password = ""

  ## Amount of time allowed to complete the HTTP request
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false
