# HTTP JSON Input Plugin
|
|
|
|
The httpjson plugin collects data from HTTP URLs which respond with JSON. It flattens the JSON and finds all numeric values, treating them as floats.
|
|
|
|
Deprecated (1.6): use the [http](../http) input.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[inputs.httpjson]]
|
|
## NOTE This plugin only reads numerical measurements, strings and booleans
|
|
## will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
## Name for the service being polled. Will be appended to the name of the
|
|
## measurement e.g. "httpjson_webserver_stats".
|
|
##
|
|
## Deprecated (1.3.0): Use name_override, name_suffix, name_prefix instead.
|
|
name = "webserver_stats"
|
|
|
|
## URL of each server in the service's cluster
|
|
servers = [
|
|
"http://localhost:9999/stats/",
|
|
"http://localhost:9998/stats/",
|
|
]
|
|
## Set response_timeout (default 5 seconds)
|
|
response_timeout = "5s"
|
|
|
|
## HTTP method to use: GET or POST (case-sensitive)
|
|
method = "GET"
|
|
|
|
## Tags to extract from top-level of JSON server response.
|
|
# tag_keys = [
|
|
# "my_tag_1",
|
|
# "my_tag_2"
|
|
# ]
|
|
|
|
## Optional TLS Config
|
|
# tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
|
|
# tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
|
|
# tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
|
|
## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
|
|
# insecure_skip_verify = false
|
|
|
|
## HTTP Request Parameters (all values must be strings). For "GET" requests, data
|
|
## will be included in the query. For "POST" requests, data will be included
|
|
## in the request body as "x-www-form-urlencoded".
|
|
# [inputs.httpjson.parameters]
|
|
# event_type = "cpu_spike"
|
|
# threshold = "0.75"
|
|
|
|
## HTTP Request Headers (all values must be strings).
|
|
# [inputs.httpjson.headers]
|
|
# X-Auth-Token = "my-xauth-token"
|
|
# apiVersion = "v1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Measurements & Fields:
|
|
|
|
- httpjson
|
|
- response_time (float): Response time in seconds
|
|
|
|
Additional fields are dependant on the response of the remote service being polled.
|
|
|
|
### Tags:
|
|
|
|
- All measurements have the following tags:
|
|
- server: HTTP origin as defined in configuration as `servers`.
|
|
|
|
Any top level keys listed under `tag_keys` in the configuration are added as tags. Top level keys are defined as keys in the root level of the object in a single object response, or in the root level of each object within an array of objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Examples Output:
|
|
|
|
This plugin understands responses containing a single JSON object, or a JSON Array of Objects.
|
|
|
|
**Object Output:**
|
|
|
|
Given the following response body:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"a": 0.5,
|
|
"b": {
|
|
"c": "some text",
|
|
"d": 0.1,
|
|
"e": 5
|
|
},
|
|
"service": "service01"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
The following metric is produced:
|
|
|
|
`httpjson,server=http://localhost:9999/stats/ b_d=0.1,a=0.5,b_e=5,response_time=0.001`
|
|
|
|
Note that only numerical values are extracted and the type is float.
|
|
|
|
If `tag_keys` is included in the configuration:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[inputs.httpjson]]
|
|
tag_keys = ["service"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then the `service` tag will also be added:
|
|
|
|
`httpjson,server=http://localhost:9999/stats/,service=service01 b_d=0.1,a=0.5,b_e=5,response_time=0.001`
|
|
|
|
**Array Output:**
|
|
|
|
If the service returns an array of objects, one metric is be created for each object:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
[
|
|
{
|
|
"service": "service01",
|
|
"a": 0.5,
|
|
"b": {
|
|
"c": "some text",
|
|
"d": 0.1,
|
|
"e": 5
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"service": "service02",
|
|
"a": 0.6,
|
|
"b": {
|
|
"c": "some text",
|
|
"d": 0.2,
|
|
"e": 6
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`httpjson,server=http://localhost:9999/stats/,service=service01 a=0.5,b_d=0.1,b_e=5,response_time=0.003`
|
|
`httpjson,server=http://localhost:9999/stats/,service=service02 a=0.6,b_d=0.2,b_e=6,response_time=0.003`
|
