For the `influxdb-host` parameter you have two options:

To use the module in the Kubernetes Nginx ingress controller, you have two options:

- Use an InfluxDB server configured to enable the [UDP protocol](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.5/supported_protocols/udp/).
- Use an InfluxDB server configured with the [UDP protocol](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.5/supported_protocols/udp/) enabled.
- Deploy Telegraf as a sidecar proxy to the Ingress controller configured to listen UDP with the [socket listener input](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.6/plugins/inputs/socket_listener) and to write using
anyone of the [outputs plugins](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.6/plugins/outputs)
anyone of the [outputs plugins](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.7/plugins/outputs) like InfluxDB, Apache Kafka,
Prometheus, etc.. (recommended)

It's important to remember that there's no DNS resolver at this stage so you will have to configure
an ip address to `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/influxdb-host`. If you deploy Influx or Telegraf as sidecar (another container in the same pod) this becomes straightforward since you can directly use `127.0.0.1`.
