Output filter plugin Output filter plugin to rewrite Collectd JSON output to be inserted into InfluxDB
Rewrites the message coming from Collectd to make it compatible with the way InfluxDB stores data in series.
Installation
Use RubyGems:
gem install fluent-plugin-collectd-influxdb
Configuration
<match pattern>
type collectd_influxdb
</match>
If following record is passed:
[{"time" => 1000, "host" => 'host_v', "interval" => 5, "plugin" => 'plugin_v', "plugin_instance" => 'plugin_instance_v', "type" => 'type_v', "type_instance" => 'type_instance_v', "values" => ['v1', 'v2'], "dsnames" => ['n1', 'n2'], "dstypes" => ['t1', 't2']}]
then you got new record like below:
[{"n1"=>"v1", "n2"=>"v2"}]
and the record tag will be changed to
host_v.plugin_v.plugin_instance_v.type_v.type_instance_v
Empty values in "plugin", "plugin_instance", "type" or "type_instance" will not be copied into the new tag name
WARNING
