Fluent::Plugin::InfluxDB, a plugin for Fluentd
fluent-plugin-influxdb is a buffered output plugin for fluentd and influxDB.
If you are using fluentd as a collector and want to organize your time-series data in influxDB, this is your right choice!
$ fluent-gem install fluent-plugin-influxdb
Just like other regular output plugins, Use type influxdb in your fluentd configuration under match scope:
type influxdb
Options:
host: The IP or domain of influxDB, default to "localhost"
port: The HTTP port of influxDB, default to 8086
dbname: The database name of influxDB, default to "fluentd". you should create the database and grant permissions first
user: The DB user of influxDB, should be created manually, default to "root"
password: The password of the user, default to "root"
time_precision: The time precision of timestamp. default to "s". should specify either second (s), millisecond (m), or microsecond (u)
<match mylog.*>
type influxdb
host localhost
port 8086
dbname test
user testuser
password mypwd
time_precision s
</match>
fluentd-plugin-influxdb is a buffered output plugin. So additional buffer configuration would be (with default values):
