Provide test environment for kibana input plugin

+## Run example environment
+
+Requires the following tools:
+
+* [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
+* [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
+
+From the root of this project execute the following script: `./plugins/inputs/kibana/test_environment/run_test_env.sh`
+
+This will build the latest Telegraf and then start up Kibana and Elasticsearch, Telegraf will begin monitoring Kibana's status and write its results to the file `/tmp/metrics.out` in the Telegraf container.
+
+Then you can attach to the telegraf container to inspect the file `/tmp/metrics.out` to see if the status is being reported.
+
+The Visual Studio Code [Remote - Containers](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) extension provides an easy user interface to attach to the running container.

+  ## cost of higher maximum memory usage.
+  metric_buffer_limit = 10000
+
+  ## Collection jitter is used to jitter the collection by a random amount.

+  ## This can be used to avoid many plugins querying things like sysfs at the
+  ## same time, which can have a measurable effect on the system.

+  ##   ie, when interval = "10s", precision will be "1s"
+  ##       when interval = "250ms", precision will be "1ms"
+  ## Precision will NOT be used for service inputs. It is up to each individual
+  ## service input to set the timestamp at the appropriate precision.
