taosAdapter
中文版
taosAdapter is a TDengine’s companion tool and is a bridge/adapter between TDengine cluster and application. It provides an easy-to-use and efficient way to ingest data from data collections agents(like Telegraf, StatsD, collectd) directly. It also provides InfluxDB/OpenTSDB compatible data ingestion interface to allow InfluxDB/OpenTSDB applications to immigrate to TDengine seamlessly.
taosAdapter provides the following functions.
- RESTful interface
- Compatible with InfluxDB v1 write interface
- Compatible with OpenTSDB JSON and telnet format write
- Seamless connect to Telegraf
- Seamless connect to collectD
- Seamless connect to StatsD
- Support Prometheus remote_read and remote_write
taosAdapter architecture
taosAdapter deployment
Install taosAdapter
taosAdapter is part of the TDengine server from TDengine v2.4.0.0. You don't need any additional steps to install taosAdapter if you already installed TDengine server. You can download TDengine server package (taosAdapter be included in v2.4.0.0 and above version) from the official website. If you want to deploy taosAdapter on another server, you need to install official TDengine server installation package. If you want to build taosAdapter from source code, you can refer to the How to build taosAdapter instruction.
Start/Stop taosAdapter
taosAdapter service is managed by the systemd by default on the Linux system. It can be started by the command systemctl start taosadapter
and be stopped by the command systemctl stop taosadapter
.
Uninstall taosAdapter
The command rmtaos
will remove the TDengine server software including taosAdapter too.
Upgrade taosAdapter
taosAdapter only properly run with the same version of TDengine server.
You need to upgrade TDengine server to upgrade taosAdapter.
A separate deployed taosAdapter need to upgrade the corresponding version of TDengine server package too.
taosAdapter's parameters
taosAdapter supports command line parameters, environment variables, and configuration files.
The default configuration file is /etc/taos/taosadapter.toml
.
Command-line parameters take precedence over environment variables take precedence over configuration files
The command line usage is arg=val such as taosadapter -p=30000 --debug=true

Functions
Interface
TDengine RESTful interface
You can use any http client to access the RESTful interface address http://<fqdn>:6041/rest/sql
to insert to or query from TDengine. Please refer to the official documentation for detail.
InfluxDB
You can use any http client to access the RESTful interface address http://<fqdn>:6041/<APIEndPoint>
to insert InfluxDB compatible protocol data to TDengine. The end point is:
/influxdb/v1/write
Support following InfluxDB query parameters:
db
Specify the necessary parameters for the database
precision
time precision non-essential parameter
u
user non-essential parameters
p
password Optional parameter
Note: There is currently not supported token authentication in InfluxDB only supports Basic authentication and query parameter authentication.
OpenTSDB
You can use any http client to access the RESTful interface address http://<fqdn>:6041/<APIEndPoint>
to insert OpenTSDB compatible protocol data to TDengine. The end point is:
/opentsdb/v1/put/json/:db
/opentsdb/v1/put/telnet/:db
collectd
direct collection
Modify the collectd configuration /etc/collectd/collectd.conf
. taosAdapter uses 6045 for collectd direct collection data write by default.
LoadPlugin network
<Plugin network>
Server "127.0.0.1" "6045"
</Plugin>
tsdb writer
Modify the collectd configuration /etc/collectd/collectd.conf
. taosAdapter uses 6047 for collectd tsdb write by default.
LoadPlugin write_tsdb
<Plugin write_tsdb>
<Node>
Host "localhost"
Port "6047"
HostTags "status=production"
StoreRates false
AlwaysAppendDS false
</Node>
</Plugin>
StatsD
modify the configuration file path_to_statsd/config.js
backends
add "./backends/repeater"
repeater
add { host:'host to taosAdapter', port: 6044}
An example configuration file as below:
{
port: 8125,
backends: ["./backends/repeater"],
repeater: [{ host: '127.0.0.1', port: 6044}]
}
icinga2 OpenTSDB writer
Use icinga2 to collect check result metrics and performance data
object OpenTsdbWriter "opentsdb" {
host = "host to taosAdapter"
port = 6048
}
TCollector
TCollector is a client-side process that gathers data from local collectors and pushes the data to OpenTSDB. You run it on all your hosts, and it does the work of sending each host’s data to the TSD (OpenTSDB backend process).
- Enable taosAdapter configuration
opentsdb_telnet.enable
- Modify the TCollector configuration file, modify the OpenTSDB host to the host where taosAdapter is deployed, and modify the port to 6049
node_exporter
Prometheus exporter for hardware and OS metrics exposed by *NIX kernels
- Enable taosAdapter configuration
node_exporter.enable
- Set the relevant configuration of node_exporter
- Restart taosAdapter
prometheus
Remote_read and remote_write are cluster schemes for Prometheus data read-write separation.
Just use the REMOTE_READ and REMOTE_WRITE URL to point to the URL corresponding to Taosadapter to use Basic authentication.
- Remote_read url:
http://host_to_taosadapter:port (default 6041) /prometheus/v1/remote_read/:db
- Remote_write url:
http://host_to_taosadapter:port (default 6041) /Prometheus/v1/remote_write/:db
Basic verification:
- Username: TDengine connection username
- Password: TDengine connection password
Example Prometheus.yml is as follows:
remote_write:
- url: "http://localhost:6041/prometheus/v1/remote_write/prometheus_data"
basic_auth:
username: root
password: taosdata
remote_read:
- url: "http://localhost:6041/prometheus/v1/remote_read/prometheus_data"
basic_auth:
username: root
password: taosdata
remote_timeout: 10s
read_recent: true
Memory usage optimization
taosAdapter will monitor itself memory usage during its running. You can adjust its thresholds via two parameters.
The valid value is from -1 to 100. The unit is the percentage of physical memory on the system.
- pauseQueryMemoryThreshold
- pauseAllMemoryThreshold
Query requests will be rejected when the pauseQueryMemoryThreshold is exceeded.
http return
- code 503
- body "query memory exceeds threshold"
All write and query requests will be rejected when the pauseAllMemoryThreshold is exceeded.
http return
- code 503
- body "memory exceeds threshold"
The corresponding function will resume when the memory usage falls back below the threshold.
Status check interface http://<fqdn>:6041/-/ping
- Normal return
code 200
- No parameter Returns
code 503
if memory exceeds pauseAllMemoryThreshold
- request parameter
action=query
returns code 503
if memory exceeds pauseQueryMemoryThreshold or pauseAllMemoryThreshold
for the corresponding configuration parameter
monitor.collectDuration duration Set monitor duration. Env "TAOS_ADAPTER_MONITOR_COLLECT_DURATION" (default 3s)
monitor.incgroup Whether running in cgroup. Env "TAOS_ADAPTER_MONITOR_INCGROUP"
monitor.pauseAllMemoryThreshold float Memory percentage threshold for pause query and insert. Env "TAOS_ADAPTER_MONITOR_PAUSE_ALL_MEMORY_THRESHOLD" (default 80)
monitor.pauseQueryMemoryThreshold float Memory percentage threshold for pause query. Env "TAOS_ADAPTER_MONITOR_PAUSE_QUERY_MEMORY_THRESHOLD" (default 70)
You can adjust them according to the specific project scenarios and operation strategies, and it is recommended to use operation monitoring software to monitor system memory status in a timely manner too. You can configure the load balancer to check the interface for checking taosAdapter's running status too.
taosAdapter monitoring metrics
taosAdapter collects http related metrics, cpu percentage and memory percentage.
http interface
Provides an OpenMetrics interface.
http://<fqdn>:6041/metrics
Write to TDengine
taosAdapter supports writing metrics to TDengine.

Limit on the rows of returned result
taosAdapter controls the rows of result returned by the parameter restfulRowLimit
, -1 means no limit, default is no limit.
This parameter controls the following interface returns
http://<fqdn>:6041/rest/sql
http://<fqdn>:6041/prometheus/v1/remote_read/:db
Troubleshooting
You can use systemctl status taosadapter
to check the running status of the taosAdapter.
Or you can set --logLevel
or the environment variable "TAOS_ADAPTER_LOG_LEVEL" to adjust the detail level how many log taosAdapter output. The valid values include panic, fatal, error, warn, warning, info, debug, and trace.
How to migrate to taosAdapter from old version of TDengine server
In the early version (2.2.x.x or earlier version), TDengine server provided an embedded http service by default. It will compulsorily running with the taosd
process. As mentioned early, taosAdapter need be manually run by 'systemctl start taosadapter' and has its own process. Some parameters and behaviors are different between the embedded httpd and taosAdapter. Please see below:
