Description

The default generated Telegraf config doesn't contain the _logtarget_ parameter.

Although this is not critical, as the default value is _file_ and then the configuration is determined by the _logfile_ option, which is presented in the config file, it's doesn't provide a user with the complete set of available options.

Version: 2.0.0 (acd09bf)

Research direction

Start by locating the code that generates the default Telegraf configuration for InfluxDB 2 and inspect how the logfile option is emitted. Add the missing logtarget entry using the existing default value, then verify that a generated default config exposes the parameter alongside the other logging options.
