Hostname is not passed as a tag

[alvaromorales]

I installed telegraf using the Debian/Ubuntu package on the README file. It is sending metrics to influxdb 0.9. The hostname of the machine running telegraf is not being passed as a tag with metrics.

+1 for this issue - I'm seeing the same problem too - no host tags with the data. Additionally uncommenting the tags={ "dc" : "us-east-1" } line in the sample config causes a parse error.

I think this might be the same as #18 - we should have this fixed in the next day or so and will cut a release as soon as it's done.

please use full hostname ( hostname -f ) in Amazon AWS it's important because the instance-id in a lof of case only show using hostname -f

I've just tested with the current master branch after influxdata/influxdb#3131 got merged, and can confirm that this has fixed the issue with tags not being passed. Is there any estimate for when the next release (incorporating this fix) is due to land? Thanks.

@jimconner we'll cut a release later today

This should be fixed in v0.1.2, which is now available.

I'm running telegraf-0.1.2 (with influxdb 0.9.1-rc1) and can confirm that the issue is fixed. Thanks!

As described here
https://community.influxdata.com/t/why-is-hostname-not-replaced-with-its-content-when-using-in-global-tags/2603
the same problem again occurs with telegraf v1.4.1.
Can we reopen this issue or should I create a new one?
