The HTTP Listener v2 input plugin listens for messages sent via HTTP POST.
Messages are expected in [line protocol format](https://docs.influxdata.com/telegraf/latest/data_formats/input/influx)
ONLY (other [Telegraf input data formats](https://docs.influxdata.com/telegraf/latest//data_formats/input/) are not supported).
This plugin allows Telegraf to serve as a proxy or router for the `/write` endpoint of the InfluxDB v2110 HTTP API.
The HTTP Listener v2 input plugin listens for metrics sent via HTTP.
Metrics may be sent in any supported [Telegraf input data format](/telegraf/latest/data_formats/input/influx).
Note the plugin previously known as `http_listener` has been renamed `influxdb_listener`.
To use Telegraf as a proxy/relay for InfluxDB, we recommend using `influxdb_listener`.
