Prometheus consoles should support Telegraf properties

[e271828-]

The combination works well, except for the fact that none of the Prometheus consoles or Grafana dashboards support Telegraf's default naming scheme.

I've added support in this repo:

We'd generally recommend using the node exporter for such properties, and Grafana for dashboards.

The example console templates are there so there's something to look at in simple cases.

[e271828-]

The node exporter has weak log parsing support, which we need for long-running batch jobs.

Telegraf is in general 5x more popular, more featureful, etc. It would make sense to have better support out of the box.

For logs you want mtail or the grok_exporter. See also https://www.robustperception.io/one-agent-to-rule-them-all/

I don't think it's likely we'll ever add more to the included console examples, Grafana is the way to go.
