Native Ping not working after 1.12.4

[superjeng1]

Relevant telegraf.conf:

[[inputs.ping]]
  ## Hosts to send ping packets to.
  urls = ["1.1.1.1",
          "1.0.0.1",
          "dash.cloudflare.com",
          "www.google.com",
          "facebook.com",
          "twitter.com",
          "www.youtube.com"
         ]

  ## Method used for sending pings, can be either "exec" or "native".  When set
  ## to "exec" the systems ping command will be executed.  When set to "native"
  ## the plugin will send pings directly.
  ##
  ## While the default is "exec" for backwards compatibility, new deployments
  ## are encouraged to use the "native" method for improved compatibility and
  ## performance.
  method = "native"

  ## Number of ping packets to send per interval.  Corresponds to the "-c"
  ## option of the ping command.
  count = 5

  ## Time to wait between sending ping packets in seconds.  Operates like the
  ## "-i" option of the ping command.
  ping_interval = 0.5

  ## If set, the time to wait for a ping response in seconds.  Operates like
  ## the "-W" option of the ping command.
  timeout = 2.0

  ## If set, the total ping deadline, in seconds.  Operates like the -w option
  ## of the ping command.
  # deadline = 10

  ## Interface or source address to send ping from.  Operates like the -I or -S
  ## option of the ping command.
  interface = "ens3"

  ## Specify the ping executable binary.
  # binary = "ping"

  ## Arguments for ping command. When arguments is not empty, the command from
  ## the binary option will be used and other options (ping_interval, timeout,
  ## etc) will be ignored.
  # arguments = ["-c", "3"]

  ## Use only IPv6 addresses when resolving a hostname.
  ipv6 = false
  interval = "20s"

System info:

Debian 10, Telegraf 1.12.4 (git: HEAD 9a4f08e)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use the above config file in 1.12.3 and observe it working.
2. Update telegraf to 1.12.4 release.

Expected behavior:

Nine metrics are available:
average_response_ms
maximum_response_ms
minimum_response_ms
packet_received
packet_transmitted
percent_packet_loss
result_code
standard_deviation_ms
ttl

Actual behavior:

Before updating, there are nine metrics available. But after update, only result_code, packet_received and packet_transmitted are available.

Additional info:

It doesn’t output any log even in debug log level.

I can confirm the debian amd64 version is working again. Thanks a lot!
