Research direction

Start by locating the InfluxDB data source page, then review Telegraf's EXTERNAL_PLUGINS.md and the inputs.execd directions referenced in PR #8001. Done means the page has a separate external-plugin section, links or lists the plugins, and explains how to use them with inputs.execd.
