Running telegraf on Ubuntu 14.04 inside of VMWare produces invalid number error when plugins other than cpu and/or system are enabled.

Config and debug output follows:

Thank you @vhajdari for the detailed report, it looks like you might be running a version of telegraf that is incompatible with your version of InfluxDB: https://github.com/influxdb/telegraf#installation

what is your telegraf version and influxdb version?

[vhajdari]

Hi Cameron,

I'm running InfluxDB v0.9.2

Regards,

Tony Hajdari

Hi Cameron,

Just upgraded InfluxDB to 0.9.3 and that did the trick. I suppose RTMF
should be at the top of the support section :-)

Upgrading to the latest versions of InfluxDB and Telegraf resolved the issue.
