Telegraf: can we use powershell script in telegraf?

[maddygoes]

[[inputs.exec]]
commands = ["D:TealeafSystemcanisterstats.ps1"]
timeout = "30s"
data_format = "influx"
name_suffix = "_expPlusCan"

am getting below error :
C:Program FilesTelegraf>telegraf -config telegraf.conf -test
Error parsing telegraf.conf, toml: line 131: parse error

this is line 131 -- commands = ["D:TealeafSystemcanisterstats.ps1"]

You need to escape your backslash in your commands path. Use double backslash instead \\

commands = ["D:\\Tealeaf\\System\\canisterstats.ps1"]

Thanks puckpuck.. Still error.. changed from ps1 to bat :-(

[[inputs.exec]]
commands = ["D:TealeafSystemcanstat.bat"]
timeout = "30s"
data_format = "json"
name_suffix = "_expPlusCan"

commands = ["D:/Tealeaf/System/canstat.bat"] --- this one working !!!

Thanks for showing me a way ;-)

I am having the same issue: In my case
PS C:Program Filestelegraf> .telegraf.exe -config telegraf.conf -test
2017/03/23 17:48:50 E! Error parsing telegraf.conf, toml: line 179: parse error

And this is line 179: commands = ["C:/process.bat"]
I've tried commands = ["C:\process.bat"] as well and same issue.

Try like this, i has the same issue and use '/' instead of '\' or '\\', it works.

[[inputs.exec]]
commands = ["D:/Tealeaf/System/canisterstats.ps1"]
timeout = "30s"
data_format = "influx"
name_suffix = "_expPlusCan"
