I just had a look at the x509_cert documentation. It is a little bit inconsistent, the example config uses “tcp://example.org:443” but the sample output has “source=https://example.org:443”. So this is the reverse behaviour from what we are seeing now with 1.19, and it is still crazy for me. I would expect “tcp://” in and “tcp:😕/” out, or “https://” in and “https://” out.

I got your point now… before telegraf 1.18 it was source=https://www.xxx.com:443 and with telegraf 1.19 it is now source=tcp://www.xxx.com:443 So we still have a little problem here.
