History

Cameron Sparr 2eee1b84fb break telegraf registry into separate package this is for supporting external plugins. external plugins will depend on a few telegraf interface types, as well as a common telegraf registry. this will allow external and internal plugins to both share this package and make it easier to vendor/version the whole thing semantically, which will make it easier to keep plugins supported across build and telegraf versions. see #1717		2017-02-06 11:16:29 +00:00

Instrumental Output Plugin

This plugin writes to the Instrumental Collector API and requires a Project-specific API token.

Instrumental accepts stats in a format very close to Graphite, with the only difference being that the type of stat (gauge, increment) is the first token, separated from the metric itself by whitespace. The increment type is only used if the metric comes in as a counter through [[input.statsd]].

Configuration:

[[outputs.instrumental]]
  ## Project API Token (required)
  api_token = "API Token"  # required
  ## Prefix the metrics with a given name
  prefix = ""
  ## Stats output template (Graphite formatting)
  ## see https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/DATA_FORMATS_OUTPUT.md#graphite
  template = "host.tags.measurement.field"
  ## Timeout in seconds to connect
  timeout = "2s"
  ## Debug true - Print communcation to Instrumental
  debug = false
