Librato Output Plugin

This plugin writes to the Librato Metrics API and requires an api_user and api_token which can be obtained here for the account.

The source_tag option in the Configuration file is used to send contextual information from Point Tags to the API.

If the point value being sent cannot be converted to a float64, the metric is skipped.

Currently, the plugin does not send any associated Point Tags.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Configuration for Librato API to send metrics to.
[[outputs.librato]]
  ## Librato API Docs
  ## http://dev.librato.com/v1/metrics-authentication
  ## Librato API user
  api_user = "telegraf@influxdb.com" # required.
  ## Librato API token
  api_token = "my-secret-token" # required.
  ## Debug
  # debug = false
  ## Connection timeout.
  # timeout = "5s"
  ## Output source Template (same as graphite buckets)
  ## see https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md#graphite
  ## This template is used in librato's source (not metric's name)
  template = "host"
