Telegraf win_perf_counters not sending input counters with %

[ghost]

It appears that Telegraf is not allowing metrics with % to send over to a listening Prometheus server. Any metric without a % works without issue.

telegraf.conf:

System info:

Telegraf (version 1.0.0-beta2) Windows 7 Professional Virtual Machine

Steps to reproduce:

1. Execute Telegraf
2. Wait for metrics to send

   Expected behavior:

Metrics with % should be showing up in Prometheus server

Actual behavior:

Metrics with % do not show up in Prometheus server
