Bug report

Relevant telegraf.conf:

[[inputs.rethinkdb]]
  servers = ["rethinkdb://rethinkdb_username1:[email protected]:28015"]

System info:

Telegraf: telegraf-1.2.1.x86_64.rpm
Rethinkdb: 2.3.5
Operating system: Fedora 25 linux

Steps to reproduce:

Tested on fedora 25 linux

1. Install rethinkdb of 2.3.5 version via RPM (https://rethinkdb.com/docs/install/fedora/)
2. Set authorization - username and password https://rethinkdb.com/docs/permissions-and-accounts/
3. Install telegraf with rethinkdb extraction config like i mentioned above
4. systemctl start telegraf
5. # journalctl -u telegraf -e

Expected behavior:

Telegraf connects to rethinkdb and gets data

Actual behavior:

Telegraf unable to connect to rethinkdb.
Telegraf sends this to journalctl -u telegraf -e and rethinkdb is not monitored
