[[inputs.directory_monitor]]
  ## The directory to monitor and read files from (including sub-directories if "recursive" is true).
  directory = ""
  #
  ## The directory to move finished files to (maintaining directory hierarchy from source).
  finished_directory = ""
  #
  ## Setting recursive to true will make the plugin recursively walk the directory and process all sub-directories.

  #
  ## The directory to move files to upon file error.
  ## If not provided, erroring files will stay in the monitored directory.
  # error_directory = ""
  #
  ## The amount of time a file is allowed to sit in the directory before it is picked up.
  ## This time can generally be low but if you choose to have a very large file written to the directory and it's potentially slow,
  ## set this higher so that the plugin will wait until the file is fully copied to the directory.
  # directory_duration_threshold = "50ms"

  ## A list of the only file names to monitor, if necessary. Supports regex. If left blank, all files are ingested.

  ## Maximum lines of the file to process that have not yet be written by the
  ## output. For best throughput set to the size of the output's metric_buffer_limit.
  ## Warning: setting this number higher than the output's metric_buffer_limit can cause dropped metrics.
  # max_buffered_metrics = 10000
  #
  ## The maximum amount of file paths to queue up for processing at once, before waiting until files are processed to find more files.
  ## Lowering this value will result in *slightly* less memory use, with a potential sacrifice in speed efficiency, if absolutely necessary.
  # file_queue_size = 100000
  #
  ## Name a tag containing the name of the file the data was parsed from.  Leave empty
  ## to disable. Cautious when file name variation is high, this can increase the cardinality
  ## significantly. Read more about cardinality here:

  ## Specify if the file can be read completely at once or if it needs to be read line by line (default).
  ## Possible values: "line-by-line", "at-once"

  ## The dataformat to be read from the files.
  ## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
