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 ```

# influxdb plugin
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
## Default is "http://localhost:8086/debug/vars".
urls = [
"http://localhost:8086/debug/vars"
]
```

### 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 ```
