# InfluxDB Output Plugin This InfluxDB output plugin writes metrics to the [InfluxDB](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb) HTTP or UDP service. ### Configuration: ```toml # Configuration for sending metrics to InfluxDB [[outputs.influxdb]] ## The full HTTP or UDP URL for your InfluxDB instance. ## ## Multiple URLs can be specified for a single cluster, only ONE of the ## urls will be written to each interval. # urls = ["unix:///var/run/influxdb.sock"] # urls = ["udp://127.0.0.1:8089"] # urls = ["http://127.0.0.1:8086"] ## The target database for metrics; will be created as needed. # database = "telegraf" ## If true, no CREATE DATABASE queries will be sent. Set to true when using ## Telegraf with a user without permissions to create databases or when the ## database already exists. # skip_database_creation = false ## Name of existing retention policy to write to. Empty string writes to ## the default retention policy. Only takes effect when using HTTP. # retention_policy = "" ## Write consistency (clusters only), can be: "any", "one", "quorum", "all". ## Only takes effect when using HTTP. # write_consistency = "any" ## Timeout for HTTP messages. # timeout = "5s" ## HTTP Basic Auth # username = "telegraf" # password = "metricsmetricsmetricsmetrics" ## HTTP User-Agent # user_agent = "telegraf" ## UDP payload size is the maximum packet size to send. # udp_payload = 512 ## Optional SSL Config for use on HTTP connections. # 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 Proxy override, if unset values the standard proxy environment ## variables are consulted to determine which proxy, if any, should be used. # http_proxy = "http://corporate.proxy:3128" ## Additional HTTP headers # http_headers = {"X-Special-Header" = "Special-Value"} ## HTTP Content-Encoding for write request body, can be set to "gzip" to ## compress body or "identity" to apply no encoding. # content_encoding = "identity" ## When true, Telegraf will output unsigned integers as unsigned values, ## i.e.: "42u". You will need a version of InfluxDB supporting unsigned ## integer values. Enabling this option will result in field type errors if ## existing data has been written. # influx_uint_support = false ```
