Documentation for input.chrony suggests the proto is unix but it's unixgram - related #15549

[[inputs.chrony]]
#   ## Server address of chronyd with address scheme
#   ## If empty or not set, the plugin will mimic the behavior of chronyc and
#   ## check "unix:///run/chrony/chronyd.sock", "udp://127.0.0.1:323"
#   ## and "udp://[::1]:323".
#   # server = ""
server="unix:///run/chrony/chronyd.sock"
#
#   ## Timeout for establishing the connection
#   # timeout = "5s"
#
#   ## Try to resolve received addresses to host-names via DNS lookups
#   ## Disabled by default to avoid DNS queries especially for slow DNS servers.
#   # dns_lookup = false
#
#   ## Metrics to query named according to chronyc commands
#   ## Available settings are:
#   ##   activity    -- number of peers online or offline
#   ##   tracking    -- information about system's clock performance
#   ##   serverstats -- chronyd server statistics
#   ##   sources     -- extended information about peers
#   ##   sourcestats -- statistics on peers
#   # metrics = ["tracking"]
metrics=["activity","tracking","serverstats","sources","sourcestats"]

#
#   ## Socket group & permissions
#   ## If the user requests collecting metrics via unix socket, then it is created
#   ## with the following group and permissions.
socket_group = "_chrony"
socket_perms = "0660"
