    Fix telegraf example arguments (#2788) · dd537b33
    Zack Zatkin-Gold authored
    Many of the examples provided within documentation are using a single
    dash for the command line arguments, but the telegraf executable
    explicitly has two dashes.
    
    There are also some inconsistencies with the ordering of the command
    line argument examples.  I've ordered them so that the examples will
    show: config, config-directory, input-filter, test
