InfluxDB Receiver
This receiver accepts metrics data as InfluxDB Line Protocol.
Write endpoints exist at /write
(InfluxDB 1.x compatibility) and /api/v2/write
(InfluxDB 2.x compatibility).
Write query parameters db
/rp
(InfluxDB 1.x) and org
/bucket
(InfluxDB 2.x) are ignored.
Write query parameter precision
is optional, defaults to ns
.
Write responses:
- 204: success, no further response needed (no content)
- 400: permanent failure; check response body for details
- 500: retryable error; check response body for details
Configuration
The following configuration options are supported:
endpoint
(default = 0.0.0.0:8086) HTTP service endpoint for the line protocol receiver
The full list of settings exposed for this receiver are documented in config.go.
Example:
receivers:
influxdb:
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:8080
Definitions
InfluxDB is an open-source time series database.
Telegraf is an open-source metrics agent, similar to the OpenTelemetry Collector.
Telegraf has hundreds of plugins.
Line protocol is a textual HTTP payload format used to move metrics between Telegraf agents and InfluxDB instances.
Schema
The InfluxDB->OpenTelemetry conversion schema and implementation are hosted at https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-observability .
This receiver automatically detects schema at parse time.
