### Processor Plugins
|
||
|
|
||
|
This section is for developers who want to create a new processor plugin.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Processor Plugin Guidelines
|
||
|
|
||
|
* A processor must conform to the [telegraf.Processor][] interface.
|
||
|
* Processors should call `processors.Add` in their `init` function to register
|
||
|
themselves. See below for a quick example.
|
||
|
* To be available within Telegraf itself, plugins must add themselves to the
|
||
|
`github.com/influxdata/telegraf/plugins/processors/all/all.go` file.
|
||
|
* The `SampleConfig` function should return valid toml that describes how the
|
||
|
processor can be configured. This is include in the output of `telegraf
|
||
|
config`.
|
||
|
- The `SampleConfig` function should return valid toml that describes how the
|
||
|
plugin can be configured. This is included in `telegraf config`. Please
|
||
|
consult the [SampleConfig][] page for the latest style guidelines.
|
||
|
* The `Description` function should say in one line what this processor does.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Processor Plugin Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
package printer
|
||
|
|
||
|
// printer.go
|
||
|
|
||
|
import (
|
||
|
"fmt"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"github.com/influxdata/telegraf"
|
||
|
"github.com/influxdata/telegraf/plugins/processors"
|
||
|
)
|
||
|
|
||
|
type Printer struct {
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
var sampleConfig = `
|
||
|
`
|
||
|
|
||
|
func (p *Printer) SampleConfig() string {
|
||
|
return sampleConfig
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
func (p *Printer) Description() string {
|
||
|
return "Print all metrics that pass through this filter."
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
func (p *Printer) Apply(in ...telegraf.Metric) []telegraf.Metric {
|
||
|
for _, metric := range in {
|
||
|
fmt.Println(metric.String())
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
return in
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
func init() {
|
||
|
processors.Add("printer", func() telegraf.Processor {
|
||
|
return &Printer{}
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
}
