InfluxDB Input Plugin

The InfluxDB plugin will collect metrics on the given InfluxDB servers.

This plugin can also gather metrics from endpoints that expose InfluxDB-formatted endpoints. See below for more information.

Configuration:

# Read InfluxDB-formatted JSON metrics from one or more HTTP endpoints
[[inputs.influxdb]]
  ## Works with InfluxDB debug endpoints out of the box,
  ## but other services can use this format too.
  ## See the influxdb plugin's README for more details.

  ## Multiple URLs from which to read InfluxDB-formatted JSON
  ## Default is "http://localhost:8086/debug/vars".
  urls = [
    "http://localhost:8086/debug/vars"
  ]

  ## Username and password to send using HTTP Basic Authentication.
  # username = ""
  # password = ""

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

  ## http request & header timeout
  timeout = "5s"

Measurements & Fields

Note: The measurements and fields included in this plugin are dynamically built from the InfluxDB source, and may vary between versions:

  • influxdb
    • n_shards: The total number of shards in the specified database.
  • influxdb_database: The database metrics are being collected from.
  • influxdb_httpd: The URL to listen for network requests. By default, http://localhost:8086/debug/var.
  • influxdb_measurement: The measurement that metrics are collected from.
  • influxdb_memstats: Statistics about the memory allocator in the specified database.
    • heap_inuse: The number of bytes in in-use spans.
    • heap_released: The number of bytes of physical memory returned to the OS.
    • mspan_inuse: The number of bytes in in-use mspans.
    • total_alloc: The cumulative bytes allocated for heap objects.
    • sys: The total number of bytes of memory obtained from the OS. Measures the virtual address space reserved by the Go runtime for the heap, stacks, and other internal data structures.
    • mallocs: The total number of heap objects allocated. (The total number of live objects are frees.)
    • frees: The cumulative number of freed (live) heap objects.
    • heap_idle: The number of bytes of idle heap objects.
    • pause_total_ns: The total time garbage collection cycles are paused in nanoseconds.
    • lookups: The number of pointer lookups performed by the runtime. Primarily useful for debugging runtime internals.
    • heap_sys: The number of bytes of heap memory obtained from the OS. Measures the amount of virtual address space reserved for the heap.
    • mcache_sys: The bytes of memory obtained from the OS for mcache structures.
    • next_gc: The target heap size of the next garbage collection cycle.
    • gc_cpu_fraction: The fraction of CPU time used by the garbage collection cycle.
    • other_sys: The number of bytes of memory used other than heap_sys, stacks_sys, mspan_sys, mcache_sys, buckhash_sys, and gc_sys.
    • alloc: The currently allocated number of bytes of heap objects.
    • stack_inuse: The number of bytes in in-use stacks.
    • stack_sys: The total number of bytes of memory obtained from the stack in use.
    • buck_hash_sys: The bytes of memory in profiling bucket hash tables.
    • gc_sys: The bytes of memory in garbage collection metadata.
    • num_gc: The number of completed garbage collection cycles.
    • heap_alloc: The size, in bytes, of all heap objects.
    • heap_objects: The number of allocated heap objects.
    • mspan_sys: The bytes of memory obtained from the OS for mspan.
    • mcache_inuse: The bytes of allocated mcache structures.
    • last_gc: Time the last garbage collection finished, as nanoseconds since 1970 (the UNIX epoch).
  • influxdb_shard: The shard metrics are collected from.
  • influxdb_subscriber: The InfluxDB subscription that metrics are collected from.
  • influxdb_tsm1_cache: The TSM cache that metrics are collected from.
  • influxdb_tsm1_wal: The TSM Write Ahead Log (WAL) that metrics are collected from.
  • influxdb_write: The total writes to the specified database.

Example Output:

telegraf --config ~/ws/telegraf.conf --input-filter influxdb --test

InfluxDB-formatted endpoints

The influxdb plugin can collect InfluxDB-formatted data from JSON endpoints. Whether associated with an Influx database or not.

With a configuration of:

[[inputs.influxdb]]
  urls = [
    "http://127.0.0.1:8086/debug/vars",
    "http://192.168.2.1:8086/debug/vars"
  ]
