Unexpected output from the printer processor

[voiprodrigo]

Running 1.7.0 on CentOS 7.

When I activate the printer processor, journalctl shows me lines like this:

Jul 12 16:50:06 xxxxx telegraf[25525]: [66 117 114 ... 10]

I doubt this is the expected behaviour..

Thanks.

Thanks for the report, as a workaround you can probably use the file output instead.

@danielnelson indeed, file served my purpose just fine, which was quick debug, and even better for not clogging service logs.

By the way, I noticed that using namepass defined with a simple string instead of array, caused some really weird behavior. I was using it with processor override + name_override and it renamed lots of measurements that it shouldn’t until I noticed the mistake. And shouldn’t the type of namepass be enforced? Is this known, or should I open a new issue?

Sounds similar to #3444, but can you open a new issue?
