I have found only one post regarding this and use something like this

input {  
http\_poller {  
urls =\> {  
cpu =\> {  
user =\> "sachin"  
password =\> "sachin"  
url =\> "[http://10.25.16.62:8086/query?pretty=true&db=houpxws&q=SELECT+](http://10.25.16.62:8086/query?pretty=true&db=houpxws&q=SELECT+)_+FROM+measurements"  
headers =\> { Accept =\> "application/json" }  
}  
}  
schedule =\> { cron =\> "_ \* \* \* \* UTC"}
