This would allow reports to better identify problematic network paths.\r\n\r\n### Current behavior:\r\n\r\nCurrently the plugin combines and statistics for all of the defined hosts. \r\n\r\n### Desired behavior:\r\n\r\nReport separately for each defined host\r\n\r\n### Use case: \r\n\r\nIn my situation, we suspect a sporadic networking issue in one of our data centers.  We've configured a ping test for all of our locations, and are able to see that an issue occurs when we chart the combined metrics.  But we're not able to easily pinpoint which location or locations are bad, since the reported metrics are combined/averaged.\r\n\r\nWould this change be a useful global change for others?  Or would it be a new option, keeping existing behavior by default.?  I'd be willing to take a crack at the implementation; I'm pretty green at go yet, but it seems like a pretty simple change.  Thanks for your thoughts.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/influxdata/telegraf/issues/comments/244746423","html_url":"https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/1705#issuecomment-244746423","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/influxdata/telegraf/issues/1705","id":244746423,"user":{"login":"dtanner","id":7769,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7769?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner","html_url":"https://github.com/dtanner","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dtanner/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-09-05T13:25:47Z","updated_at":"2016-09-05T13:25:47Z","body":"Ah - thanks @sparrc.
