  # ssl_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use SSL but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

Example Output:

$ ./telegraf -config telegraf.conf -input-filter http_response -test
http_response,method=GET,server=http://www.github.com http_response_code=200i,response_time=6.223266528 1459419354977857955
