Cannot use multifile plugin

[kanbara]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: v5.5.10
• Ruby: ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
• Distribution: Ubuntu focal 20.04
• Module version: unusure

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

The following YAML

telegraf::inputs:
  multifile:
    - base_dir: "/sys/class/thermal"
  multifile.file:
    - file: "thermal_zone2/temp"
      dest: "pch_skylake"
      conversion: "float(3)"
    - file: "thermal_zone3/temp"
      dest: "x86_pkg_temp"
      conversion: "float(3)"

converts to

[[inputs.multifile]]
base_dir = "/sys/class/thermal"
[[inputs."multifile.file"]]
file = "thermal_zone2/temp"
dest = "pch_skylake"
conversion = "float(3)"
[[inputs."multifile.file"]]
file = "thermal_zone3/temp"

What are you seeing

What behaviour did you expect instead

I would expect to be able to use multifile.file in the appropriate way. Telegraf does not startup with quotes in the config. I'm unsure what has to happen on the YAML side to use this module correctly. Using inputs.temp puts too much data points and unwanted sensors that are not as easy to work with. Otherwise, I suppose I could use two file modules, though multifile seemed to fit and converts will from 1000 -> 1.000
