Allowing you to write telegraf plugins in Rust.
Copy makefile-template.toml and lib.go from this project into the root of
your project directory.
Edit the makefile-template.toml script, specifically the location of where
your static library is built. Make sure to change your project to build a static
library with crate_type = ["staticlib"] in your Cargo.toml!
Using some glue Go code a "go plugin" is generated to be used in telegraf. Rust talks to the Go using C FFI and is statically linked into the resulting dynamic library.
A cargo make script is necessary because go needs to build the final artifact.
It generates magic in its .so that allows other Go code to load it at runtime.
