Telegraf: E! Error parsing /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf, line 1274: field corresponding to `context' is not defined in `*system.SystemStats'

When I start telegraf I got error:

E! Error parsing /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf, line 1274: field corresponding tocontextis not defined in*system.SystemStats'`

Can you tell me way? Thanks!

here is my configuration:

# # Read JMX metrics through Jolokia
   1270 # [[inputs.jolokia]]
   1271 #   ## This is the context root used to compose the jolokia url
   1272 #   ## NOTE that Jolokia requires a trailing slash at the end of the context root
   1273 #   ## NOTE that your jolokia security policy must allow for POST requests.
   1274     context = "/jolokia/"
   1275 #
   1276 #   ## This specifies the mode used
   1277 #   # mode = "proxy"
   1278 #   #
   1279 #   ## When in proxy mode this section is used to specify further
   1280 #   ## proxy address configurations.
   1281 #   ## Remember to change host address to fit your environment.
   1282 #   # [inputs.jolokia.proxy]
   1283 #   #   host = "127.0.0.1"
   1284 #   #   port = "8080"
   1285 #
   1286 #   ## Optional http timeouts
   1287 #   ##
   1288 #   ## response_header_timeout, if non-zero, specifies the amount of time to wait
   1289 #   ## for a server's response headers after fully writing the request.
   1290 #   # response_header_timeout = "3s"
   1291 #   ##
   1292 #   ## client_timeout specifies a time limit for requests made by this client.
   1293 #   ## Includes connection time, any redirects, and reading the response body.
   1294 #   # client_timeout = "4s"
   1295 #
   1296 #   ## Attribute delimiter
   1297 #   ##
   1298 #   ## When multiple attributes are returned for a single
   1299 #   ## [inputs.jolokia.metrics], the field name is a concatenation of the metric
   1300 #   ## name, and the attribute name, separated by the given delimiter.
   1301 #   # delimiter = "_"
   1302 #
   1303 #   ## List of servers exposing jolokia read service
   1304    [[inputs.jolokia.servers]]
   1305      name = "as-server-01"
   1306      host = "192.168.1.140"
   1307      port = "17890"
   1308      username = "admin"
   1309      password = "123456"

Hi, It is just my guess but it looks like you use deprecated plugin try this one: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/jolokia2

[danielnelson]

The reason you get this error is that the line with context is uncommented but the rest of the plugin, including the line with [[inputs.jolokia]], is commented out. This causes the option to be applied to the previous plugin above.

If you are just getting started you should use the jolokia2 plugin, as @NomNomSu suggests.

I discovered this negligence a few hours ago when I tried again. This was the first time I used it. Thank you very much!

@sdincsoy we try to reserve GitHub Issues for actionable bug reports or feature requests. Please ask general questions at the InfluxData Community site.
First thought is it sounds like your config is garbled, make sure vcenters is within the inputs.vsphere plugin config.
