+  ## If not set, all supported regions (see below) would be covered, it can provide a significant load on API, so the recommendation here
+  ## is to limit the list as much as possible. Allowed values: https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/zh/doc-detail/40654.htm
+  ## Default supported regions are:
+  ## 21 items: cn-qingdao,cn-beijing,cn-zhangjiakou,cn-huhehaote,cn-hangzhou,cn-shanghai,cn-shenzhen,
+  ##           cn-heyuan,cn-chengdu,cn-hongkong,ap-southeast-1,ap-southeast-2,ap-southeast-3,ap-southeast-5,

+  ## From discovery perspective it set the scope for object discovery, the discovered info can be used to enrich
+  ## the metrics with objects attributes/tags. Discovery is supported not for all projects (if not supported, then
+  ## it will be reported on the start - for example for 'acs_cdn' project:
+  ## 'E! [inputs.aliyuncms] Discovery tool is not activated: no discovery support for project "acs_cdn"' )
+  ## Currently, discovery supported for the following projects:

+  # Note that if a period is configured that is smaller than the minimum for a

+  # and will not be collected by Telegraf.

+
+  ## Collection Delay (required - must account for metrics availability via AliyunCMS API)

+  names = ["InstanceActiveConnection", "InstanceNewConnection"]
+
+  ## Dimension filters for Metric (these are optional).
+  ## This allows to get additional metric dimension. If dimension is not specified it can be returned or
+  ## the data can be aggregated - it depends on particular metric, you can find details here: https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/28619.html?spm=a2c4g.11186623.6.690.1938ad41wg8QSq
+  ##
+  ## Note, that by default dimension filter includes the list of discovered objects in scope (if discovery is enabled)
+  ## Values specified here would be added into the list of discovered objects.
+  ## You can specify either single dimension:
+  #dimensions = '{"instanceId": "p-example"}'
+
+  ## Or you can specify several dimensions at once:
+  #dimensions = '[{"instanceId": "p-example"},{"instanceId": "q-example"}]'
+
+  ## Enrichment tags, can be added from discovery (if supported)
+  ## Notation is <measurement_tag_name>:<JMES query path (https://jmespath.org/tutorial.html)>
+  ## To figure out which fields are available, consult the Describe<ObjectType> API per project.
+  ## For example, for SLB: https://api.aliyun.com/#/?product=Slb&version=2014-05-15&api=DescribeLoadBalancers&params={}&tab=MOCK&lang=GO
+  #tag_query_path = [
