Description
Feature Request
Opening a feature request kicks off a discussion.
Proposal:
A btrfs input plugin offering btrfs-specific information about allocations and error rates. This information is available per-mount in /sys/fs/btrfs/...
Use case:
Btrfs provides more information than other filesystems and a lot of it doesn't generalise well enough to include it in the disk plugin. Zfs is in a similar situation where it gets its dedicated plugin.

Research direction
Start by inspecting Telegraf’s existing disk and ZFS input plugins, then review the Btrfs data exposed under /sys/fs/btrfs/... per mount. Done means a Btrfs input plugin reports Btrfs-specific allocation and error-rate metrics for each mount; the issue does not name tests or exact metric fields.
