I am supportive of doing this with either the Prometheus format or via
InfluxDB Line Protocol.  There are a few minor advantages in using Line
Protocol from Telegraf's persepective involving performance and the
elimination of any confusion transforming metrics, but they probably don't
outweigh the need to support yet another format on your end.  Telegraf aims to
be unopinionated so that it can support heterogeneous environments.
