InfluxDB Output Plugin

This plugin writes to InfluxDB via HTTP or UDP.

Required parameters:

  • urls: List of strings, this is for InfluxDB clustering support. On each flush interval, Telegraf will randomly choose one of the urls to write to. Each URL should start with either http:// or udp://
  • database: The name of the database to write to.

Optional parameters:

  • retention_policy: Retention policy to write to.
  • precision: Precision of writes, valid values are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h". note: using "s" precision greatly improves InfluxDB compression.
  • timeout: Write timeout (for the InfluxDB client), formatted as a string. If not provided, will default to 5s. 0s means no timeout (not recommended).
  • username: Username for influxdb
  • password: Password for influxdb
  • user_agent: Set the user agent for HTTP POSTs (can be useful for log differentiation)
  • udp_payload: Set UDP payload size, defaults to InfluxDB UDP Client default (512 bytes)

    Optional SSL Config

  • ssl_ca: SSL CA
  • ssl_cert: SSL CERT
  • ssl_key: SSL key
  • insecure_skip_verify: Use SSL but skip chain & host verification (default: false)
