Expected behavior

Agent documenation https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/CONFIGURATION.md#agent should explain, that option always_include_global_tags is only working for [[inputs]] and NOT for [[outputs]]. You can set taginclude also for outputs and so we thought, that always_include_global_tags will also work here. Unfortunately there does not exist any option like always_include_global_tags for [[outputs]]

Actual behavior

Looking at the sourcecode, it seems to work only for inputs, not for outputs, aggregators or processors.
