I am using the inputs.http_response module to watch the status of some URL's. Actually, only one URL, because when I add more, it stops monitoring (and, indeed, bails out at telegraf startup noting a config error).

Here are two examples I've tried:

[[inputs.http_response]]
  address = "https://www.example.com/index.html"
  response_timeout = "5s"
  method = "GET"
  follow_redirects = false

[[inputs.http_response]]
  address = "https://blog.example.com/index.html"
  response_timeout = "5s"
  method = "GET"
  follow_redirects = false

and also

[[inputs.http_response]]
  address = ["https://www.example.com/index.html", "https://blog.example.com/index.html"]
  response_timeout = "5s"
  method = "GET"
  follow_redirects = false

and the same without the brackets.

Any suggestions how to monitor more than one URL?

You have to change the telegraf input configuration, by changing the input name. It can be done by creating a name suffix, prefix or even overwriting the input name itself - it has to be done for each new "http_response" input. Something similar to this example:

[[inputs.http_response]]
    name_suffix = "_www"
    address = "https://www.example.com/index.html"
    response_timeout = "10s"
    method = "GET"
    follow_redirects = false

[[inputs.http_response]]
    name_suffix = "_blog"
    address = "https://blog.example.com/index.html"
    response_timeout = "10s"
    method = "GET"
    follow_redirects = false

In this example, the input names will become http_response_www and http_response_blog.
