## Location of puppet last run summary file
## Use the following path for puppet version 7+ ($publicdir/last_run_summary.yaml)
## location = "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/public/last_run_summary.yaml"
location = "/var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_summary.yaml"
```

If you use a distro packaged puppet the `$publicdir` might be different from above.

By default, this file is not readable by the `telegraf` user.
You can adjust file permissions by configuring the `lastrunfile` setting in Puppet.

## Location of puppet last run summary file
## Use the following path for puppet version 7+ ($publicdir/last_run_summary.yaml)
## location = "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/public/last_run_summary.yaml"
location = "/var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_summary.yaml"
## Location of puppet last run summary file ($publicdir/last_run_summary.yaml)
#location = "/var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_summary.yaml"

Edit: GitHub didn't load earlier comments, it seems I suggest similar as what @skartikey also suggested earlier.

I would add in README that the $publicdir for Puppet 7+ is /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/public.
