2023/12/05 14:59:22 [ERROR]  Error Code: 509, Message: [ILLEGAL_PATH(509)] Exception occurred: insertRecord failed. root.WinPerfCounters.DC5.WinNet.isatap.{DAACFE3D-0417-4B20-8F47-9599B4C94381} is not a legal path

System info

Telegraf 1.29.1, Windows Server 2019

Docker

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure telegraf to use IoTDB output
2. Set convert_tag_to = "device_id"
3. Run telegraf in debug mode

Expected behavior

The path should be corrected by enclosing the tags wich contain a character not supported by IoTDB in ``

Actual behavior

Telegraf simply tryes to add the path as it is and dosen't give any way to correct such behaviour

Additional info

Host, port, user, password have been purposefully omitted to avoid exposing sensitive data.

We got a little working fix which is running on our production sites, and are willing to share the current code to get some reviews and maybe improvements.
