Hello,

I want to write this data into InfluxDB:

```
{
     "product" => "telegraf",
     "data_points" => {
        "TraficoEntrante" => 2474864615,
               "hostname" => "host1",
        "TraficoSaliente" => 2474864615,
                   "host" => "host2",
             "agent_host" => "host3",
         "NombreInterfaz" => "lo"
    },
    "@timestamp" => 2017-08-04T17:30:23.883Z,
    "send_as_tags" => [
        [0] "hostname",
        [1] "host",
        [2] "agent_host",
        [3] "NombreInterfaz"
    ],
    "name" => "Network",
    "@version" => "1",
          "fields" => {
        "TraficoEntrante" => 2474864615,
        "TraficoSaliente" => 2474864615
    },
  
    "timestamp" => 1501867801
}

```

But the output throws me error this error:

`"Something is wrong with your configuration."`

This is my output configuration:

```
influxdb {
           host => "InfluxHost"
           user => "user"
           password => "password"
           port => "port"
           db => "database"
           measurement => "%{name}"
           allow_time_override => true
           time => "%{timestamp}"
           data_points => "%{data_points}"
           send_as_tags => "%{send_as_tags}"
          }

```

I think I have all the required field. The problem must be the `data_points` or the `send_as_tags` format, but I think they are fine.

I'm pretty sure that's not the only error message you get.
