Feature Request
Opening a feature request kicks off a discussion. As discussed in https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/7763#issuecomment-676801651
Proposal:
Let the default value of these be the same:
agentforprocessors.ifnameagent_hostforinputs.snmpagent_addressforinputs.sflow
Current behavior:
The default value (agent) mostly never useful.
Desired behavior:
The default value should be a logical one that makes sense or most users would not need to change.
