Description

After getting telegraf to start providing data as a daemon set, I then tried to get some network information (it isn't included in the default set of metrics) by adding this to the configMap:

[[inputs.net]]
ignore_protocol_stats = true
interfaces = [ "ens*"]

But there's nothing. No output anywhere.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the generated ConfigMap and DaemonSet configuration for the Telegraf deployment, then verify how the inputs.net settings are rendered and loaded. Done means the DaemonSet exposes network metrics from the configured ens* interfaces when the input is enabled.
