Exec Output Plugin

This plugin sends telegraf metrics to an external application over stdin.

The command should be defined similar to docker's exec form:

["executable", "param1", "param2"]

On non-zero exit stderr will be logged at error level.

Configuration

[[outputs.exec]]
  ## Command to ingest metrics via stdin.
  command = ["tee", "-a", "/dev/null"]

  ## Timeout for command to complete.
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## Data format to output.
  ## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
  ## more about them here:
  ## https://gitee.com/zhimiao/qiansi-telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md
  # data_format = "influx"

Types

type CommandRunner

type CommandRunner struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

CommandRunner runs a command with the ability to kill the process before the timeout.

func (*CommandRunner) Run

func (c *CommandRunner) Run(timeout time.Duration, command []string, buffer io.Reader) error

Run runs the command.

type Exec

type Exec struct {
	Command []string          `toml:"command"`
	Timeout internal.Duration `toml:"timeout"`
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Exec defines the exec output plugin.

func (*Exec) Close

Close satisfies the Output interface.

func (*Exec) Connect

func (e *Exec) Connect() error

Connect satisfies the Output interface.

func (*Exec) Description

func (e *Exec) Description() string

Description describes the plugin.

func (*Exec) SampleConfig

func (e *Exec) SampleConfig() string

SampleConfig returns a sample configuration.

func (*Exec) SetSerializer

func (e *Exec) SetSerializer(serializer serializers.Serializer)

SetSerializer sets the serializer for the output.

func (*Exec) Write

func (e *Exec) Write(metrics []telegraf.Metric) error

Write writes the metrics to the configured command.

type Runner

type Runner interface {
	Run(time.Duration, []string, io.Reader) error
}

Runner provides an interface for running exec.Cmd.
