[[inputs.ping]] when a URL does not exists

[mertbakir]

Telegraf. 1.13.0

[[inputs.ping]]
  urls = ["server1", "server2", "server3", "server4", "server5"]

When server3 is not a resolved, ping will return "could not find host server3" and in this case inputs.ping doesn't look for server4 and server5. Telegraf keeps working and generating related values for server1 and server2.

I'm not sure if this is a bug but I expect it to log the error about server 3 and move on with server4.

This sounds a lot like #6690, but this should be fixed in 1.13.0.

I am testing with this configuration, and the non-localhost server is not up:

[[inputs.ping]]
   urls = ["localhost", "localhost", "debian-stretch-docker.virt", "localhost", "localhost", "localhost", "localhost"]
