Release Announcement: Telegraf 1.18.2

A new maintenance release for Telegraf is available now.

This maintenance release of Telegraf includes the following improvements:

Agent
- The JSON format is now compatible with nulls to ensure Telegraf successfully detects null values and returns an empty metric without error.
- The common.shim has been updated to accept larger inputs from the scanner.
APCUPSD Input (apcupsd)
- Resolved an ALARMDEL bug in a forked repository. This fix ensures the plugin works when no alarm delay duration is set.
Converter Processor (converter)
- Added support for float64 to support converting longer hexadecimal string values into a numeric type without losing in precision. Note: if a string number exceeds the size limit for float64, precision may still be lost.
NFS Client Input (nfsclient)
- Updated to successfully collect metrics other than read and write.
SNMP Input (snmp)
- Updated to log snmpv3 auth failures.
Sumo Logic Output (sumologic)
- Added support to sanitize the metric name in Carbon2 serializer.
VMware vSphere Input (vsphere)
- Added the MetricLookback setting to handle reporting delays in vCenter 6.7 and later.
OPC UA Client Input (opcua)
- Fixed the error handling.

The binaries for the latest open source release can be found on our downloads page.
