Systemd service not enabled on Debian

[deric]

Debian does not contain /etc/lsb-release file (unlike Ubuntu), instead there's a binary lsb_release:

$ lsb_release -r
Release:        8.2

When release number is >=8.0 systemd service should be enabled. Maybe just removing this line would solve it. Assuming that most distributions would use either systemd or sysvinit.

@deric Thanks for letting us know. Fix here: #526

Workaround:

$ sudo cp /usr/lib/telegraf/scripts/telegraf.service /lib/systemd/system/
$ sudo systemctl enable telegraf

No, problem. Yeah, I've managed to bypass the issue, but it's annoying to do this on each server. Using /etc/debian_version is even better idea, than mine 👍.
