Telegraf - how to run bash script with a flag?

Question

I am trying to configure telegraf to run bash script with a flag.

For example:

[[inputs.exec]] ## Commands array
  commands = [ 
    "/tmp/test.sh", 
  ]

That works fine, but when I modify it to:

[[inputs.exec]] 
  ## Commands array 
  commands = [ 
    "/tmp/test.sh -r", 
  ]

It looks like telegraf is ignoring the '-r' flag.

What is wrong?

Maybe your script do not handle the key propperly – Romeo Ninov Jan 16 '19 at 13:21 — Romeo Ninov, Jan 16 '19 at 13:21
Running that script with flag from command line works fine. – Saine1991 Jan 16 '19 at 13:32 — Saine1991, Jan 16 '19 at 13:32
try using `"/tmp/test.sh", "-r"`, – Kami Kaze Jan 16 '19 at 13:34 — Kami Kaze, Jan 16 '19 at 13:34

I would do it like this:

  commands = [
 "/bin/bash -c '/tmp/test.sh -r'"
]

Best.
