[telegraf-ds] Single bracket for single element in map list interface

[nicolas-rey]

Telegraf-ds Helm chart version: 1.1.32
Telegraf Docker image 1.29-alpine
Amazon Linux on EKS

I'm trying to put processors.converter in telegraf-ds configuration.

On this processors I want to convert tags to fields, for exemple the expected config will be :

[[processors.converter]]
  namepass = ["ping"]
  [processors.converter.tags]
    string = [
      "host",
      "name",
      "url"
    ]

For this, configuration on YAML for telegraf-ds is:

config:
 # [...]
  inputs:
  processors:
    - converter:
        namepass:
          - ping
        tags:
          string:
            - host
            - name
            - url

With the actual template for telegraf-ds the result is :

[[processors.converter]]
  namepass = ["ping"]
  [[processors.converter.tags]]
    string = [
      "host"
      "name",
      "url"
    ]

Two problems here:

1. processors.converter.tags have two bracket and not one (https://github.com/influxdata/helm-charts/blob/telegraf-ds-1.1.32/charts/telegraf-ds/templates/_helpers.tpl#L228)
2. first element of string list don't have comma

I've check on telegraf template and it's good. An If statement is in place for used single bracket with converter, override, clone and two brackets for other (https://github.com/influxdata/helm-charts/blob/telegraf-1.8.51/charts/telegraf/templates/_helpers.tpl#L342)

After check all templates and part, 3 syntaxe is present for manage map string interface :

• In telegraf-ds, processors, no statement only two brackets (https://github.com/influxdata/helm-charts/blob/telegraf-ds-1.1.32/charts/telegraf-ds/templates/_helpers.tpl#L228)

• In telegraf, processors, an if statement for single map list and for map list in 2 level (https://github.com/influxdata/helm-charts/blob/telegraf-1.8.51/charts/telegraf/templates/_helpers.tpl#L342)

• In telegraf and telegraf-ds, inputs, check if map list contain values to used two brackets and if not single brackets (https://github.com/influxdata/helm-charts/blob/telegraf-1.8.51/charts/telegraf/templates/_helpers.tpl#L204)

Can you used one if statement on processors in telegraf-ds for allow processors.converter ?
