David Grant

Worked on enhancing observability for the HTTP Output Plugin in the influxdata/telegraf repository by implementing detailed error logging for non-retryable HTTP responses. The solution involved modifying the backend Go code to capture and log the full HTTP response body alongside the status code, preserving critical error context for debugging. This approach improved error handling and reduced mean time to resolution for HTTP-related failures, while maintaining backward compatibility with existing log formats. Demonstrated proficiency in backend development, error handling, and logging within a containerized environment, focusing on practical improvements that streamline troubleshooting and support maintainable plugin architecture in production systems.
