Add influxdb plugin This was primarily intended to consume InfluxDB-style expvars, particularly InfluxDB's `/debug/vars` endpoint. That endpoint follows a structure like ```json { "httpd::8086": { "name": "httpd", "tags": { "bind": ":8086" }, "values": { "pointsWrittenOK": 33756, "queryReq": 19, "queryRespBytes": 26973, "req": 428, "writeReq": 205, "writeReqBytes": 3939161 } } } ``` There are an arbitrary number of top-level keys in the JSON response at the configured URLs, and this plugin will iterate through all of their values looking for objects with keys "name", "tags", and "values" indicating a metric to be consumed by telegraf. Running this on current master of InfluxDB, I am able to record nearly the same information that is normally stored in the `_internal` database; the only measurement missing from `_internal` is `runtime`, which is present under the "memstats" key but does not follow the format and so is not consumed in this plugin. ``` $ influx -database=telegraf -execute 'SHOW FIELD KEYS FROM /influxdb/' name: influxdb_influxdb_engine ---------------------------- fieldKey blksWrite blksWriteBytes blksWriteBytesC pointsWrite pointsWriteDedupe name: influxdb_influxdb_httpd --------------------------- fieldKey pingReq pointsWrittenOK queryReq queryRespBytes req writeReq writeReqBytes name: influxdb_influxdb_shard --------------------------- fieldKey fieldsCreate seriesCreate writePointsOk writeReq name: influxdb_influxdb_subscriber -------------------------------- fieldKey pointsWritten name: influxdb_influxdb_wal ------------------------- fieldKey autoFlush flushDuration idleFlush memSize metaFlush pointsFlush pointsWrite pointsWriteReq seriesFlush name: influxdb_influxdb_write --------------------------- fieldKey pointReq pointReqLocal req subWriteOk writeOk ```

The InfluxDB plugin will collect metrics on the given InfluxDB servers.
This plugin can also gather metrics from endpoints that expose
InfluxDB-formatted endpoints. See below for more information.
### Configuration:
```toml
# Read InfluxDB-formatted JSON metrics from one or more HTTP endpoints
[[inputs.influxdb]]
## Works with InfluxDB debug endpoints out of the box,
## but other services can use this format too.
## See the influxdb plugin's README for more details.
## Multiple URLs from which to read InfluxDB-formatted JSON
Also added reasonable default for influxdb input plugin to simplify configuration for most users closes #1295
2016-05-30 12:45:21 +00:00
## Default is "http://localhost:8086/debug/vars".

Add support for self-signed certs to InfluxDB input plugin (#2773)
2017-05-08 22:20:24 +00:00
## Optional SSL Config
# ssl_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
# ssl_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
# ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
## Use SSL but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
## http request & header timeout
timeout = "5s"

```
### Measurements & Fields
Document that InfluxDB input metrics vary with version
2018-04-10 02:30:18 +00:00
**Note:** The measurements and fields are dynamically built from the InfluxDB source,
and may vary between versions.

### Example Output:
```
Fix telegraf example arguments (#2788) Many of the examples provided within documentation are using a single dash for the command line arguments, but the telegraf executable explicitly has two dashes. There are also some inconsistencies with the ordering of the command line argument examples. I've ordered them so that the examples will show: config, config-directory, input-filter, test

### InfluxDB-formatted endpoints
The influxdb plugin can collect InfluxDB-formatted data from JSON endpoints.
Whether associated with an Influx database or not.
Add influxdb plugin This was primarily intended to consume InfluxDB-style expvars, particularly InfluxDB's `/debug/vars` endpoint. That endpoint follows a structure like ```json { "httpd::8086": { "name": "httpd", "tags": { "bind": ":8086" }, "values": { "pointsWrittenOK": 33756, "queryReq": 19, "queryRespBytes": 26973, "req": 428, "writeReq": 205, "writeReqBytes": 3939161 } } } ``` There are an arbitrary number of top-level keys in the JSON response at the configured URLs, and this plugin will iterate through all of their values looking for objects with keys "name", "tags", and "values" indicating a metric to be consumed by telegraf. Running this on current master of InfluxDB, I am able to record nearly the same information that is normally stored in the `_internal` database; the only measurement missing from `_internal` is `runtime`, which is present under the "memstats" key but does not follow the format and so is not consumed in this plugin. ``` $ influx -database=telegraf -execute 'SHOW FIELD KEYS FROM /influxdb/' name: influxdb_influxdb_engine ---------------------------- fieldKey blksWrite blksWriteBytes blksWriteBytesC pointsWrite pointsWriteDedupe name: influxdb_influxdb_httpd --------------------------- fieldKey pingReq pointsWrittenOK queryReq queryRespBytes req writeReq writeReqBytes name: influxdb_influxdb_shard --------------------------- fieldKey fieldsCreate seriesCreate writePointsOk writeReq name: influxdb_influxdb_subscriber -------------------------------- fieldKey pointsWritten name: influxdb_influxdb_wal ------------------------- fieldKey autoFlush flushDuration idleFlush memSize metaFlush pointsFlush pointsWrite pointsWriteReq seriesFlush name: influxdb_influxdb_write --------------------------- fieldKey pointReq pointReqLocal req subWriteOk writeOk ```
